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/
Girl, you're my sunshine,
take away the raindrops,
you make it all worthwhile,
make all the pain stop.
Just like a river,
keep love flowin',
don't let our world stop,
gotta keep it goin'.
Well, I love you just the way you are,
honey, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
don't change on me, yeah.
Girl, you're my lucky star,
honey, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
I said, don't ya' change on me.
I used to wonder
where would I ever find
a-some kinda happiness and peace of mind.
I was lured by the darkness,
and then you came,
bringin' the sunshine,
easin' the pain.
I love ya' just the way you are,
honey, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
I said, don't change on me.
Girl,
girl, you're my lucky star,
honey, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
Lord, don't ya' change on me.
If there's a heaven,
then this is my prayer,
I wanna know,
I wanna know if we will meet there,
and there forever
[won't] get together
in the sunshine,
no more stormy weather.
Well, I love ya' just the way you are,
honey, don't change on me,
don't you change on me,
don't you change on me.
Girl,
girl, you're my lucky star,
baby, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
don't ya' change.
I love ya'
just the way you are,
I love ya' just the way you are,
love ya' just the way you are.
Girl, you're my lucky star,
don't change on me,
yeah, don't change on me.

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

"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.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
