I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
So, I was in my car
wasn't going that far
just ten miles in the sun
Things were going my way
it was a brand new day
That had just begun
heard a love song
couldnt go wrong
It was all about window down
Arm goes out
Cruizin’ down the road
All of a sudden
there was a car crash
didnt even see it coming
it was soo fast
watch it all go down
now this mishap
has left me here with nothing
but a car crash
and the life it turned around
I saw a splash of white
And I watched my life
Unfolding in my head
Am I still alive
Maybe that’s not right
Just wishing I was dead
All that I know
Is it was slo-mo
I couldn’t open up the door
Window down
Arms go out
Water coming in
All of a sudden
I wasnt dreamin
Am I swimming for my life
But I’m still breathing
I had to wonder why
there was a car crash
didnt even see it coming
it was soo fast
watch it all go down
now this mishap
has left me here with nothing
But a car crash’
And the life it turned around
Who would of thought
My life would change today
I never thought that it would be this way
And now I finally see
The road in front of me…
The road in front of me…
there was a car crash
didnt even see it coming
it was soo fast
watch it all go down
now this mishap
has left me here with nothing
but a car crash
and the life it turned around
It took a car crash to see
It took a car crash to see
the road in front of me
it took a car crash to see…
wasn't going that far
just ten miles in the sun
Things were going my way
it was a brand new day
That had just begun
heard a love song
couldnt go wrong
It was all about window down
Arm goes out
Cruizin’ down the road
All of a sudden
there was a car crash
didnt even see it coming
it was soo fast
watch it all go down
now this mishap
has left me here with nothing
but a car crash
and the life it turned around
I saw a splash of white
And I watched my life
Unfolding in my head
Am I still alive
Maybe that’s not right
Just wishing I was dead
All that I know
Is it was slo-mo
I couldn’t open up the door
Window down
Arms go out
Water coming in
All of a sudden

Am I swimming for my life

and the life it turned around
It took a car crash to see
It took a car crash to see
the road in front of me
it took a car crash to see…
