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/
Let me show you I love you
Each and every day
I would not havin'
Any other way
My mother she taught me
How to show you my love
Because my way's in action
Speak much louder than words
Put your arms around my waist
And look direct in my face
And I'll show you I love you
And no one else can take your place
Let me show you I love you
Each and every day
Because I would not never havin'
Any other way
Put your arms around my waist
And look me direct in my face
And I'll show you I love you
And no one else can take your place
Each and every day
I would not havin'
Any other way
My mother she taught me
How to show you my love
Because my way's in action
Speak much louder than words
Put your arms around my waist
And look direct in my face
And I'll show you I love you
And no one else can take your place
Let me show you I love you
Each and every day
Because I would not never havin'
Any other way
Put your arms around my waist
And look me direct in my face
And I'll show you I love you
And no one else can take your place
