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/
You have to have a party
When you're in a State like this
You can really move it all
You have to vote and change
You have to get right out of it
Like out of all this mess
You'll say yeah to anything
If you believe all this, but
Don't cry, don't do anything
No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is here again
President gas is up for president
Line up, put your kisses down
Say yeah, say yes again
Stand up, there's a head count
President gas on everything but roller skates
It's sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes
Just to check that your asleep again
President gas is president gas again
He comes in from the left sometimes
He comes in from the right
It's so heavily advertised that he wants you and I
It's a real cowboy set, the electric company
Every day is happy days
It's hell without the sin, but
Don't cry, don't do anything
No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is here again
President gas is up for president
Line up, put your kisses down
Say yeah, say yes again
Stand up, there's a head count
President gas on everything but roller skates
It's sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes just to check that your asleep again
President gas is president gas agayyyy-ain
Wo-oh-ohh-ohh-ohhh!
President Gas
Oh!
President Gas
Waaaar!
President Gas
Oh!
President Gas
Waaaar!
President Gasss
Oh!

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
It's December 2016 and for some reason I keep thinking of this song. Donald Trump has been elected president and it's about a month until his swearing in. If there was ever a President Gas it has to be Donald Trump. Even though the song was recorded almost thirty-five years prior. Look at the lyrics. If they don't say Donald Trump, then tell me who else fits!
@neon56 @neon56 YES drumpf is a poisonous gas, & it's looking more & more like he may well be the ACTUAL antichrist!
@neon56 maybe they should re-do the song..."President Trump is President Trump again!"...
Thinking of the moment and not commenting much. I could not pass on this:<br /> It appears to me that most artists usually express opinions of their own vision or actions in that moment (i.e.: Smiths (his sexual suppression in the 80’s) or Morrisey (lost and confused in the 90’s)) same person in a new package. Remember we are life in a fluid that rarely changes any color; in essence we only see through a glass prism.<br /> If this is a true political song - it would lean me toward an English Prime Minister. Knowing that there was a new president in the United States (Reagan) inheriting a torn nation from the Vietnam War to the Iranian hostages in the Middle East; while dealing with Russia on the newly signed - Strategic Arms Limitation Talks II (Salt II treaty: 1979). <br /> Reagan might be (arguably) the first outspoken MAGA (Make America Great Again) presidents; but we must ask ourselves when was America great or not great? This will depend on how you, the individual view’s this moment in time. He was also known to say, “It’s a new day”. This was so we could have a warm fuzzy feeling and to soften a severe recession we were experiencing in the 80’s. The nation was also coming out of an unpopular Carter presidency. The far right found an unconditional love with Reagan which in many ways caused the left to barely keep any peace within their own ranks, not unlike today’s right. <br /> Peter Bart’s piece (November 5, 2020), “Donald Trump Stole the Reagan Strategy and Slogan but Failed to Make His Presidency Great Again”. So, if this song is in fact a political statement through poetry. I am not sure that Trump known for his grifting would be a good choice to reference here. Maybe, the Ford or Nixon cabinets (political rivels known to be caught in an oil and gas war that was created by OPEC or just the Iran and Iraq war raging in the middle east in 1979 to 1988). I could go deeper but I will digress from going any further into this topic.<br /> Although, “Make America Great Again” was a main part of the red wave that hit the US at that time ("Let's make America Great Again” or “We Can Make America Great Again.") was famously used in Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign ads at the time. The United States was suffering from a worsening economy marked by stagflation; he also used the motto “Every new day begins with possibilities” in many of his ads.<br />
