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 walking through this town alone tonight
I'm seeing faces I've never seen before
The streets are filled with rain as it pours down
And somehow i don't think i'll make it out
Torrential downpour drowns out my day
Searching to find you in this torrential rain
(love turns to anger the torment inside still hurts but i can never let you go)
So let me hear your voice again i ask-
That you will turn your back and come with me
And we will make it out alive tonight
Torrential downpour drowns out my day
Searching to find you in this torrential rain
(love turns to anger the torment inside still hurts but i can never let you go)
when will we get out of here? X6
Torrential downpour drowns out my day
Searching to find you in this torrential rain
(love turns to anger the torment inside still hurts but i can never let you go)
I'm seeing faces I've never seen before
The streets are filled with rain as it pours down
And somehow i don't think i'll make it out
Torrential downpour drowns out my day
Searching to find you in this torrential rain
(love turns to anger the torment inside still hurts but i can never let you go)
So let me hear your voice again i ask-
That you will turn your back and come with me
And we will make it out alive tonight
Torrential downpour drowns out my day
Searching to find you in this torrential rain
(love turns to anger the torment inside still hurts but i can never let you go)
when will we get out of here? X6
Torrential downpour drowns out my day
Searching to find you in this torrential rain
(love turns to anger the torment inside still hurts but i can never let you go)
