@[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.
"So what", she said
"It's a wonder why you're not dead"
So far, so what
I rejoice
In my dreams I can hear her voice
I'm awake instead
And the voices that I hear drew it in my head
It's all coming to a head
Tell me you win
It's safe for now, I'm in your hands
Tell me you win
It's all coming to a head
Tell me you win
It's safe for now, I'm in your hands
So far, so what?
"Shut up", she said
"You'll say something you might regret"
After all, we're the same
And there's nothing sweeter than when you're to blame
Just the same
So far, so what?
So what?
So what?
So far, for what?
So what?
So what?
So far, for what?
So what?
"It's a wonder why you're not dead"
So far, so what
I rejoice
In my dreams I can hear her voice
I'm awake instead
And the voices that I hear drew it in my head
It's all coming to a head
Tell me you win
It's safe for now, I'm in your hands
Tell me you win
It's all coming to a head
Tell me you win
It's safe for now, I'm in your hands
So far, so what?
"Shut up", she said
"You'll say something you might regret"
After all, we're the same
And there's nothing sweeter than when you're to blame
Just the same
So far, so what?
So what?
So what?
So far, for what?
So what?
So what?
So far, for what?
So what?

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/

I also want to add that I'm not sure what he's saying for the line before "it's all coming to a head". And how great I think the lyrical switch-up to "so far, -for- what?" at the end is.
