@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Can you feel it? Nothin' can save ya
For this is the season of catchin' the vapors
And since I got time, what I'm gonna do?
Is tell you how it's spreaded throughout my crew
Well you all know Nate Dogg who sings on my records
"Never Leave Me Alone", "Ain't No Fun", now check it
Back in the days before Nate Dogg began
He used to try to holla at this girl named Pam
The type of female with fly Gucci wear
She wore a big Turkish wool with a weave in her hair
When they tried to kick it, she'd always fess
Talkin' about, "Baby, please, you out here servin' stress"
Since he wasn't no type of big chronic dealer
The homie Nate Dogg didn't appeal to her
But now he rock boots that match with his suits
And push a Lexus coupe that's extra G
And now she stop frontin' and wants to speak and
Be comin' around The Pound every single weekend
To get his beeper number, she be beggin' please (please)
Dyin' for the day to eat these
She caught the vapors (the vapors)
(Now-now-now guess what they caught?)
She caught the vapors (vapors)
(Now guess what they caught?) The vapors
I got a little cousin that's come to play
He bring the heat with the beat for the Dogg Pound gang
A mellow type of fellow, that's laid back
But back in the days he wasn't nothin' like that
I remember when he used to scrap every day
When my auntie would tell him he would never obey
He wore his khakis hangin' down with his Starks untied
And a blue and gray cap that said "The Eastside"
Around my neighborhood the people treated him bad
They said," Daz was the worst thing his moms ever had"
They said, "He he would grow up to be nothin' but a gangsta"
Or either in jail or someone will shank him
But now he's grown up to they're surprise
D-a-z, he got a hit record slangin' world wide
Now the same people that didn't like him as a child
Bumpin' Dogg Food, Doggfather, and Doggystyle
They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)
(Now guess what they caught?)
They caught the vapors (the vapors, vapors)
Vapors
I got another homie from the LBC
Known to y'all as DJ Warren G
He cut, scratched, transformed with finesse
And all that mess
I remember when we first started to rap
He tried to get this job at Calvin's Record Shop
He was in it to win it, but the boss fronted
Said, "Sorry Warren G, but there's no help wanted"
Now my homie Warren still tried
On and on and on 'til the light break of dawn
To work at the V.I.P. Would be the link
But they looked right past him so my homie straight dipped
Now for the year after Regulate
Warren G is havin' papers so my homie's life straight
He walked into the same record shop as before
And the boss be like, "Warren, welcome to my store"
Offerin' him a job, but nah, he don't want it (man)
Damn, it feels good to see people up on it
'Cause I remember when at first they wasn't
Now guess what they caught since he bustin'?
The vapors (the vapors)
(Now guess what they caught?)
They caught the vapors (the vapors)
(Now-now guess what they caught?)
Guess I gotta talk about me, now (the vapors)
Last subject of the story is about Snoop Dogg
I had to work for mine to show I was a true hog
When I was a teenager, I tried to be down
But since they wasn't tryna hear me, I made the Dogg Pound
I saw a crew on 2-1 street
And said, "Can I be down, champ?"
They said, "No", they treated me like a wet food stamp
After gettin' rejected, I ain't run off the set
I sat and wrote some Dogg doodle rhymes at my rest
When I used to go to parties, they'd make me wait
Would have to beg to get on the mic to set MCs straight
I ain't never love no hoes, I was just into my music
They acted like I wanted to keep on hangin' with the Deuces
But now things switched from West to East
"Yo Dogg, do you remember me from 21st street, G?" (Sorry, I don't)
"We used to see Daz back in the day"
It happens all the time, so brother don't be amazed
You caught the vapors (vapors)
(Now guess what they caught?)
You caught the vapors (vapors)
(Now-now-now guess what they caught?)
Me and my whole clique, we checkin' papers
(Now guess what they caught, caught) Vapors

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/
