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/
Can we touch the soul of heaven
Can we unite a sacred lesson
Every child creates a skylight of beauty
Can you hear cathedrals falling
All the universe is calling
Cry a single cello from your heart
Since the world has lost her way
Loneliness journey, endlessly
Yet the promised chance remains
Gift of what could be
So let the children remember the sun (children remember the son)
Let them dance, let them soar
For their lives have begun (their lives have begun)
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer
Every voice along the shoreline
Standing still within time
Spinnin' unresolved
Walking as each season passes
Through wonderland, through looking glasses
A secret garden shines, beckons you
Gentle flower don't fade away
Sweet innocence still harbors thee
In the faint of golden dreams
Where one love lives eternally
Let the children remember the sun (remember the sun)
Let them dance, let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields (river runs through)
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer, prayer
(Prayer, Prayer)
(Bless the)
Children for they are the light
They are the truth of spirit in flight
Yes the children engender the rain
As the river runs through life (the river)
Healing their pain
If you could trust with your heart one more time (trust with one more time)
Sweet angel conceived
You have forever and always believed
Prayer
Prayer, oh
Prayer
Can we unite a sacred lesson
Every child creates a skylight of beauty
Can you hear cathedrals falling
All the universe is calling
Cry a single cello from your heart
Since the world has lost her way
Loneliness journey, endlessly
Yet the promised chance remains
Gift of what could be
So let the children remember the sun (children remember the son)
Let them dance, let them soar
For their lives have begun (their lives have begun)
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer
Every voice along the shoreline
Standing still within time
Spinnin' unresolved
Walking as each season passes
Through wonderland, through looking glasses
A secret garden shines, beckons you
Gentle flower don't fade away
Sweet innocence still harbors thee
In the faint of golden dreams
Where one love lives eternally
Let the children remember the sun (remember the sun)
Let them dance, let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields (river runs through)
Forever subsiding their pain
