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 sitting here alone in your room
i've been here all afternoon
waiting for your shift to end
you shouldn't leave me here so long
i need someone to feed me medicine
and hold my body down
i'm the queen
i'm the queen of nothing now
and i rule with an iron fist
over beds that won't make themselves
so it's off with their heads
the chairs won't stay in line
and i had to chop the legs off of all the tables
i could really use your help this time
and i accidentally cut myself
and i'm bleeding on the couch again
i'm the queen
i'm the queen of nothing now
and it's hard to keep law and order
when the walls are talking to you
and the dishes seem to multiply
i've been here all afternoon
waiting for your shift to end
you shouldn't leave me here so long
i need someone to feed me medicine
and hold my body down
i'm the queen
i'm the queen of nothing now
and i rule with an iron fist
over beds that won't make themselves
so it's off with their heads
the chairs won't stay in line
and i had to chop the legs off of all the tables
i could really use your help this time
and i accidentally cut myself
and i'm bleeding on the couch again
i'm the queen
i'm the queen of nothing now
and it's hard to keep law and order
when the walls are talking to you
and the dishes seem to multiply
