@[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.
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for you
And with one word, and with just one word
Choking the life, I breathe my last
And with one look, and with just one look
You hold the key to this heart of glass
This is the withering
I’m aging years in moments
This is the path that leads
To my demise
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for you
And with one word, and with just one word
You’ve shattered my world and crushed my soul
And with one look, and with just one look
The rising sun has never felt so cold
This is the suffering
The echoes of your voice haunt
This faded memory
Is my demise
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for...
And I feel this all too slow
And I’ve been here for so long
And I feel so empty
As you walk away
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
I would give it all away
For the chance to shine again
I would freely pay the price
For the touch of your hand
And I feel this all too slow
And I’ve been here for so long
And I feel so empty
As you walk away
What have you done?
What have you become?
All is lost
We are left with sorrow
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for you
And with one word, and with just one word
Choking the life, I breathe my last
And with one look, and with just one look
You hold the key to this heart of glass
This is the withering
I’m aging years in moments
This is the path that leads
To my demise
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for you
And with one word, and with just one word
You’ve shattered my world and crushed my soul
And with one look, and with just one look
The rising sun has never felt so cold
This is the suffering
The echoes of your voice haunt
This faded memory
Is my demise
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for...
And I feel this all too slow
And I’ve been here for so long
And I feel so empty
As you walk away
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
I would give it all away
For the chance to shine again
I would freely pay the price
For the touch of your hand
And I feel this all too slow
And I’ve been here for so long
And I feel so empty
As you walk away
What have you done?
What have you become?
All is lost
We are left with sorrow

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Who sings this song? I agree its cool :)
