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/
All is silent, alone in the darkness
Trying to help you, I swear I'm telling you the truth
Now I'm going alone, leaving it tomorrow
I'm looking at your tears and I don't know how I'll say
Goodbye, you're just what I'm looking for
There's no one I want more
You're just what I'm looking for, yeah
Miles away now, another dark hotel room
I'll keep my promise of that I'm coming home soon
And I know you're alone 'cause I can hear your crying
When I hear your voice, it makes it hard for me to say
Goodbye, you're just what I'm looking for
And this I know for sure
There's no one I want more
You're just what I'm looking for
Sometimes I am afraid
Of losing your precious games
Oh, please don't give in now
Turn it down and throw it all way, hey, hey, hey
You're just what I'm looking for
And this I know for sure
There's no one I want more
You're just what I'm looking for
Oh please, don't go walking out the door
Cause you're just what I'm looking for, yeah
Trying to help you, I swear I'm telling you the truth
Now I'm going alone, leaving it tomorrow
I'm looking at your tears and I don't know how I'll say
Goodbye, you're just what I'm looking for
There's no one I want more
You're just what I'm looking for, yeah
Miles away now, another dark hotel room
I'll keep my promise of that I'm coming home soon
And I know you're alone 'cause I can hear your crying
When I hear your voice, it makes it hard for me to say
Goodbye, you're just what I'm looking for
And this I know for sure
There's no one I want more
You're just what I'm looking for
Sometimes I am afraid
Of losing your precious games
Oh, please don't give in now
Turn it down and throw it all way, hey, hey, hey
You're just what I'm looking for
And this I know for sure
There's no one I want more
You're just what I'm looking for
Oh please, don't go walking out the door
Cause you're just what I'm looking for, yeah

"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.

Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken

Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
