This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I called this number three times already today
But I, I got scared, I put it
Back in place, I put my phone back in place
I still don't know if I
Should have called up
Look, just tell me why don't ya if I'm out of place
'Cause here's your chance to make me feel awkward
And wish that I
Had never even called up this place
I saw you though, today, walk by with hippie Johnny
I had to call up and say how I want to take his place
So this phone call today concerns hippie Johnny
He's always stoned, he's never straight
I saw you today, you know, walk by with hippie Johnny
Look, I had to call up and say, I want to take his place
See he's stoned, hippie Johnny
Now get this, I'm straight and I want to take his place
Now look, I like him too, I like hippie Johnny
But I'm straight
And I want to take his
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm proud to say
Well I'm straight and I want to take his place
Now I've watched you walk around here
I've watched you meet
These boyfriends, I know, and you tell me how they're deep
Look but, if these guys, if they're really so great
Tell me, why can't they at least take this place
And take it straight, why always stoned
Like hippie Johnny is?
I'm straight and I want to take his place
Oh I'm certainly not stoned, like hippie Johnny is
I'm straight and I want to take his place
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm
I'm straight and I want
All right you Modern Lovers what do you say?
(I'm straight!)
Tell the world now
(I'm straight!)
I said
(I'm straight!)
Yeah, I'm straight and I want to take his place
But I, I got scared, I put it
Back in place, I put my phone back in place
I still don't know if I
Should have called up
Look, just tell me why don't ya if I'm out of place
'Cause here's your chance to make me feel awkward
And wish that I
Had never even called up this place
I saw you though, today, walk by with hippie Johnny
I had to call up and say how I want to take his place
So this phone call today concerns hippie Johnny
He's always stoned, he's never straight

Look, I had to call up and say, I want to take his place
See he's stoned, hippie Johnny
Now get this, I'm straight and I want to take his place

@[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/
