@[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.
Waking up in the morning
The bright, blue flames are roaring
My heart's bemused
Not a soul takes care
Feeling lost in contrite
With ample will to fight
But I choose retreat
The results I can't bear
Fortunate circumstance
Perpetual dream romance
Double hour of silence
Succumbing to compliance
Please don't let this get away
My broken heart's for you, oooh
Stop the mystery from decay
This finest core so true
Internal passions in struggle
Trapped a lake in a rubble
My luck's run dry
Stopped the stare from the mirror
Your hands entwined with another
My purpose gone asunder
With my scarce regrets
Lacked to draw you nearer
Fortunate circumstance
Perpetual dream romance
Double hour of silence
Succumbing to compliance
Please don't let this get away
My broken heart's for you, oooh
Stop the mystery from decay
This finest core so true
Maybe someday I'll have the chance
And you'll understand my plea
But I'll grant no guarantee
I'm treading the endless path to wait
When our hearts can agree
And I'll finally drink the sea
Fortunate circumstance
Perpetual dream romance
Double hour of silence
Succumbing to compliance
Please don't let this get away
My broken heart's for you, oooh
Stop the mystery from decay
This finest core so true
(Falling short of my desire)
(Wishing to increase the fire)
(Satisfied to live this lie)
(Never cease to give this high)
The bright, blue flames are roaring
My heart's bemused
Not a soul takes care
Feeling lost in contrite
With ample will to fight
But I choose retreat
The results I can't bear
Fortunate circumstance
Perpetual dream romance
Double hour of silence
Succumbing to compliance
Please don't let this get away
My broken heart's for you, oooh
Stop the mystery from decay
This finest core so true
Internal passions in struggle
Trapped a lake in a rubble
My luck's run dry
Stopped the stare from the mirror
Your hands entwined with another
My purpose gone asunder
With my scarce regrets
Lacked to draw you nearer
Fortunate circumstance
Perpetual dream romance
Double hour of silence
Succumbing to compliance
Please don't let this get away
My broken heart's for you, oooh
Stop the mystery from decay
This finest core so true
Maybe someday I'll have the chance
And you'll understand my plea
But I'll grant no guarantee
I'm treading the endless path to wait
When our hearts can agree
And I'll finally drink the sea
Fortunate circumstance
Perpetual dream romance
Double hour of silence
Succumbing to compliance
Please don't let this get away
My broken heart's for you, oooh
Stop the mystery from decay
This finest core so true
(Falling short of my desire)
(Wishing to increase the fire)
(Satisfied to live this lie)
(Never cease to give this high)

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
