Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Better call and collect
Treat me with respect
If you think our love is pedigree
Push a button... disconnect
Dial again... redirect
You're wrong... you know it isn't me
Totally misguided
Babe you're misadvised
Don't even try to fight it
Your promises are lies
Did you think our love was sacred
Well it's much too over-rated
Think again... you're wrong
Better look what heaven sent me
Think again... you're wrong
Don't need a horoscope
Don't need a telescpe
To see the way you cheat on me
Think I'd give up hope
Hanging by a rope
If I though you'd never set me free
Totally misguided
Think our love is strong
Think I'd get excited
I think you got it wrong
Did you think our love was sacred
Well it's much too over-rated
Think again... you're wrong
And our love's a precious memory
Better look what heaven sent me
Think again... you're wrong
I'll admit to being confused
And I'm used to being used
Think again... you're wrong
So wrong... so wrong... so wrong...
Think again... think again... think!
Think again... think!
Think again... think!
Love to believe you - love you and leave
You're wrong... so wrong
Hate to deceive you - love you then leave
You're wrong... so wrong
No secret sneak preview - don't need to see
You're wrong... so so wrong
Treat me with respect
If you think our love is pedigree
Push a button... disconnect
Dial again... redirect
You're wrong... you know it isn't me
Totally misguided
Babe you're misadvised
Don't even try to fight it
Your promises are lies
Did you think our love was sacred
Well it's much too over-rated
Think again... you're wrong
Better look what heaven sent me
Think again... you're wrong
Don't need a horoscope
Don't need a telescpe
To see the way you cheat on me
Think I'd give up hope
Hanging by a rope
If I though you'd never set me free
Totally misguided
Think our love is strong
Think I'd get excited
I think you got it wrong
Did you think our love was sacred
Well it's much too over-rated
Think again... you're wrong
And our love's a precious memory
Better look what heaven sent me
Think again... you're wrong
I'll admit to being confused
And I'm used to being used
Think again... you're wrong
So wrong... so wrong... so wrong...
Think again... think again... think!
Think again... think!
Think again... think!
Love to believe you - love you and leave
You're wrong... so wrong
Hate to deceive you - love you then leave
You're wrong... so wrong
No secret sneak preview - don't need to see
You're wrong... so so wrong

@[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.

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/

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
