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/
When I see my baby
When I see my little girl
When I see my woman
I'm gonna tell her about the lonely hours I just spent
And say the thing we got going hope it never ends
Well I'm gonna tell that little girl a thing or two
Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa
Outta sight baby
Ahhh-ha ha
Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa
When I see my baby
When I look in her pretty eyes
When I get with my darling baby
I say my heart will start to beat like a couple of drums
She'll get my temperature to rise to 'bout a hundred and one
(Yeah)
Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa
Outta sight baby
Ahhh-ha ha
Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa
A whole day away from your woman
A separation from your girl can really mess your mind
And can you dig this one thing
Well it's lucky I'm working from nine to five
I have to live with my doctors just to keep me alive
Keep on tellin' a thing or two
Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa
Outta sight baby
Ahhh-ha ha
Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa
When I see my little girl
When I see my woman
I'm gonna tell her about the lonely hours I just spent
And say the thing we got going hope it never ends
Well I'm gonna tell that little girl a thing or two

(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa
Outta sight baby
Ahhh-ha ha
Do it right baby
