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 don't forget too much
but what a fog this was
We had just tripped into the door
nothing short of a little drunk
I felt the wild in my skin
like a mute in the sound
and the sound just grew like a welcome-home
I traced my steps
found a trail of blood
I had shot myself in the head
and couldn't think straight for months
but what a fog this was
We had just tripped into the door
nothing short of a little drunk
I felt the wild in my skin
like a mute in the sound
and the sound just grew like a welcome-home
I traced my steps
found a trail of blood
I had shot myself in the head
and couldn't think straight for months

these lyrics are bit off, it's:

thank you. I doubted anyone would ever even look at this page.
They just haven't been found yet. I barely knew them from seeing footage of Bon Iver's A Take Away Show. Justin sang this song briefly and I'm curious to hear the full version! : ) Because I kinda think that the cool people just relate to each other : P<br />
This is such a beautiful song. I need to buy this album very soon. I've already maxed out on the last.fm plays haha.
i think this is my favorite song.
