The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
You gave up the love you got and a that is that
She loves me now she loves you not
And that's a where it's at
Just when you thought your love was deep
It's finders keepers losers, weep, yeah, daa
Love my love my love du jour
She's a mine all mine
My mind's made up yeah I'm so sure
A 'cause there's none so fine
This ain't about no losin' sleep
It's all about the love you keep
Yeah, she's a beyond beautiful
Yeah, never been nobody's
Fool that you be stuck with
Yeah, it's all about me and you
Believe it or not this love that we got
Is beyond beautiful
Full on lust to full on love without no clue
And all I was so unsure of and a then came you
Into my life it served me right
Nobody ever did it quite like you

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
