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/
I've lost my place and I don't wanna cause trouble
But I'm here to get mine
So if you could, would you kindly move?
I'll only ask you one time, cause I'm gonna get through
I don't need anybody else
I'm not afraid to take a risk, I don't practice good health
I don't pray and I don't rely
On a long make-out shallowly, watch the crime
I don't care who I have to tremble
I don't care, cause I want it bad
The consequences ain't no fucking matter
Greed is the answer, everyone's going mad
Taking everything you can
Stealing right from your hand,
When you're gonna make a stand?
'Cause we will tell you not
I never changed my point of view
I'm a cold motherfucker that never gets screwed
But I was through anybody else
Who try to take what is mine cause I hate myself
The story tellers, they will write the lines
But between the lines is where the story lies
They sugar coated with somebody's help
Cause if you grand the truth, you have to check yourself
I don't care who I have to tremble
I don't care, cause I want it bad
The consequences ain't no fucking matter
Greed is the answer, everyone's going mad
Taking everything you can
Stealing right from your hand,
When you're gonna make a stand?
'Cause we will tell you not
They keep saying there's no tomorrow
Can you speak after you will follow?
Another difference to swallow
And now our greed is gonna grow.
I don't need anybody else
I'm not afraid to take a risk, I don't practice good health
I don't pray and I don't rely
On a long make-out shallowly, watch the crime
I don't care who I have to tremble
I don't care, cause I want it bad
The consequences ain't no fucking matter
Greed is the answer, everyone's going mad
I don't care who I have to tremble
I don't care, cause I want it bad
The consequences ain't no fucking matter
Greed is the answer, everyone's going mad
Greed is the answer
Taking everything you can
Greed is the answer
Stealing right from your hand
Greed is the answer
When you're gonna make a stand?
Greed is the answer,
Cause we will tell you not
But I'm here to get mine
So if you could, would you kindly move?
I'll only ask you one time, cause I'm gonna get through
I don't need anybody else
I'm not afraid to take a risk, I don't practice good health
I don't pray and I don't rely
On a long make-out shallowly, watch the crime
I don't care who I have to tremble
I don't care, cause I want it bad

Greed is the answer
When you're gonna make a stand?
Greed is the answer,
Cause we will tell you not
