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/
I'm Living on shattered faith
The kind that likes to restrict your breath
Never been a better time than this
To suffocate on eternal bliss
In a city, that swells with so much hate
You seem to rise above, and take its' place
The heart pumps until it dies
Drain the Blood
The heart is wise
All my friends are murder
Hey, all my bones no marrow's in
All these fiends want teenage meat
All my friends are murderers
Away
I never met a pearl quite like you
Who could shimmer and rot at the same time through
There's never been a better time than this
To bite the head off the frost bitten eminence
All my friends are murder
Hey, all my bones no marrow's in
All these fiends want teenage meat
All my friends are murderers
Away, away, away
I'm alive in uterine
Star in the dark, a new day has dawned
Open up, and let it flow
I'll make it yours, so here we go
All my friends are murder
Hey, all my bones no marrow's in
All these fiends want teenage meat
All my friends are murderers
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
Away, he's gone away
Away, he's gone away
Away, he's gone, he's gone away
The kind that likes to restrict your breath
Never been a better time than this
To suffocate on eternal bliss
In a city, that swells with so much hate
You seem to rise above, and take its' place
The heart pumps until it dies
Drain the Blood
The heart is wise
All my friends are murder
Hey, all my bones no marrow's in
All these fiends want teenage meat
All my friends are murderers
Away
I never met a pearl quite like you
Who could shimmer and rot at the same time through
There's never been a better time than this
To bite the head off the frost bitten eminence
All my friends are murder
Hey, all my bones no marrow's in
All these fiends want teenage meat
All my friends are murderers
Away, away, away
I'm alive in uterine
Star in the dark, a new day has dawned
Open up, and let it flow
I'll make it yours, so here we go
All my friends are murder
Hey, all my bones no marrow's in
All these fiends want teenage meat
All my friends are murderers
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
Away, he's gone away
Away, he's gone away
Away, he's gone, he's gone away

hey astrozombie- i think the pearl reference isn't a positive one, about someone helping her out... it seems more like it's referring to someone who has betrayed her, like they shimmered like a pearl on the surface but in reality they were rotten all the way through.
Also, maybe she's talking about leeches? people who sucked her dry while pretending to be her friend? they tried to "drain the blood", but "the heart is wise" and can tell when the blood is being drained, meaning she caught on.
