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/
Give me fuel, give me fire
Give me that which I desire, ooh
Yeah
Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red
A hundred plus through black and white
War horse, warhead
Fuck 'em, man, white knuckle tight
Through black and white
Ooh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
Ooh, and on I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So give me fuel, give me fire
Give me that which I desire
Yeah
Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out home
Burn your face upon the chrome
Yeah, oh, yeah
Take the corner, join the crash
Headlights, headlines
Another junkie lives too fast
Yeah, lives way too fast, fast, fast, oh-oh
Ooh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
Ooh, and on I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So give me fuel, give me fire
Give me that which I desire, ooh, yeah
White knuckle tight
(On and on and on and on)
Give me fuel (on and on and on and on)
Give me fire (on and on and on and on)
My desire (on and on and on and on)
Ooh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
Ooh, and on I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
Give me fuel, give me fire
Give me that which I desire, ooh
On I burn
Give me that which I desire, ooh
Yeah
Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red
A hundred plus through black and white
War horse, warhead
Fuck 'em, man, white knuckle tight
Through black and white
Ooh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
Ooh, and on I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So give me fuel, give me fire
Give me that which I desire
Yeah
Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out home
Burn your face upon the chrome
Yeah, oh, yeah
Take the corner, join the crash
Headlights, headlines
Another junkie lives too fast
Yeah, lives way too fast, fast, fast, oh-oh
Ooh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
Ooh, and on I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So give me fuel, give me fire
Give me that which I desire, ooh, yeah
White knuckle tight
(On and on and on and on)
Give me fuel (on and on and on and on)
Give me fire (on and on and on and on)
My desire (on and on and on and on)
Ooh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines

I think it is IMPOSSIBLE to be driving along, and this song to come on, and not kick it down. This song makes u think u can drive fast and crazy, lol. Even if my grandma was sitting next to me in the car and this song came on, i wouldnt be able to fight the urge. Gives me goosebumps every time i hear it.
