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/
Walk it off now
You can tell them all how, how hard we tried to work it out
Walk it off dear
Standing here with your tail between your legs
Here we stand
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
Here I am
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
I will never be what you want to see now
I will never be what you want to see now
I never wanted you to go
But I'd be the last to let you know
Walk it off now
You can tell them all how, how good it feels to be let down
Tell them all about
How long it was to get around to her side of town
Here we stand
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
Here I am
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
I will never be what you want to see now
I will never be what you want to see now
I never wanted you to go
But I'd be the last to let you know
Walk it off now
You can tell them all how I finally let you down
Stand around here in this small town
And tell me how it feels
Tell me how it feels
You can tell them all how, how hard we tried to work it out
Walk it off dear
Standing here with your tail between your legs
Here we stand
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
Here I am
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
I will never be what you want to see now
I will never be what you want to see now
I never wanted you to go
But I'd be the last to let you know
Walk it off now
You can tell them all how, how good it feels to be let down
Tell them all about
How long it was to get around to her side of town
Here we stand
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
Here I am
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
I will never be what you want to see now
I will never be what you want to see now
I never wanted you to go
But I'd be the last to let you know
Walk it off now
You can tell them all how I finally let you down
Stand around here in this small town
And tell me how it feels
Tell me how it feels

this songs reminds me of a relationship that cannot seem to work. They both want to be together and at first when they end things it was sad. Then they kept going back to the same old same old with eachother and one would try while the other wouldn't. The timing was never on. Then at the end he finds someone else "how long it took to get to her side of town". She is heart broken, even though it was partially her fault. And now he pretends that she was the one who was the cause, when in reality both of them weren't trying at the same times. My intepretation
