This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Hope life's been good to you
Since you've been gone
I'm doin' fine now, I've finally moved on
It's not so bad, I'm not that sad
I'm not surprised just how well I survived
I'm over the worst, and I feel so alive
I can't complain, I'm free again
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So, I hold my breath, to forget
Don't think I'm lyin' 'round cryin' at night
There's no need to worry, I'm really alright
I've never looked back, as a matter of fact
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So, I hold my breath to forget
It only hurts when I breathe
Mmm, no, I've never looked back
As a matter of fact
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So I hold my breath to forget
(It only hurts) hurts when I'm breathing
(Heart only breaks) Breaks when it's beating
(Dreams only die) Die when I'm dreaming
It only hurts when I breathe
Since you've been gone
I'm doin' fine now, I've finally moved on
It's not so bad, I'm not that sad
I'm not surprised just how well I survived
I'm over the worst, and I feel so alive
I can't complain, I'm free again
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So, I hold my breath, to forget
Don't think I'm lyin' 'round cryin' at night
There's no need to worry, I'm really alright
I've never looked back, as a matter of fact
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So, I hold my breath to forget
It only hurts when I breathe
Mmm, no, I've never looked back
As a matter of fact
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So I hold my breath to forget
(It only hurts) hurts when I'm breathing
(Heart only breaks) Breaks when it's beating
(Dreams only die) Die when I'm dreaming
It only hurts when I breathe

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/
