@[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.
she says too much
when she sleepwalks around
her hips are a warm sarcophagus
she's so sadistic
when she's sobering up
self-destructive and sexy
when the weather's hot
oh and i want her to know
that my heart ain't carved of stone
oh and i want her to know
that my heart is on the road
she fences heartbreak across the border
and builds a better bird house out of palm (?)
she laughs when the main protagonist's family dies
and i wouldn't trust her when she cries at night
oh and i want her to know
that my heart ain't carved of stone
oh and i want her to know
that my heart is on the road
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
God this is way too good.
Gunshot and left in the desert to die
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
God this is way too good.
Gunshot and left in the desert to dry
and i want her to know
that my heart ain't carved of stone
and i want her to know
that my heart ain't carved of bone
and i want her to know
that my heart ain't a bar of soap
and i want her to know
that my heart is just as cold
why do we do
the things that we do
even though we know
we are
why should i say
what's already been said
better
one hundred times before
it's so lovely
when the worlds collide
and the ship spins out
of control
it's so lovely
when the worlds collide
and the ship spins out
of control
Why do we do
the things we do
even though we know
we are
Why should i say
what's already been said
better

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/

Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
i've always thought that it was "she's so sadistic when she's sober enough."
but this song is an absolute masterpeice.
