In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Here you come again
Just when I've begun
To get myself together
You waltz right in the door
Just like you've done before
And wrap my heart
Around your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about
To make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And light those dreamy eyes
And pretty soon I'm wondering
How I came to doubt you
All you got to do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messing up my mind
And filling up my senses
Here you come again
Looking better than a body
Has a right to
And shaking me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
All you got to do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messing up my mind
And filling up my senses
Here you come again
Looking better than a body
Has a right to
And shaking me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
Here I go
And here you come again
Just when I've begun
To get myself together
You waltz right in the door
Just like you've done before
And wrap my heart
Around your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about
To make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And light those dreamy eyes
And pretty soon I'm wondering
How I came to doubt you
All you got to do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messing up my mind
And filling up my senses
Here you come again
Looking better than a body
Has a right to
And shaking me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
All you got to do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messing up my mind
And filling up my senses
Here you come again
Looking better than a body
Has a right to
And shaking me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
Here I go
And here you come again

The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

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/
