@[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.
Hey, you always seem to catch me when I'm lying
About the stupidest of things
Okay, stay there while I'll stab you in the back with the words
I never, never, never should have taken this so far
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
And think how you hate me so bad
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
And think how you hate me so bad
I could write about a thousand songs to impress you
But I wouldn't want to do that
I could make you feel like the queen of the world, but I won't
'Cause you're full of imperfections
And this is coming from a third perspective
All I'm saying is you need to be selective
This is coming from a gentleman
With your needs in mind, I've got his on the side
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
And think how you hate me so bad
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
And think how you hate me so bad
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
And think how you hate me so bad
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead, go ahead
And think how you hate me so bad
About the stupidest of things
Okay, stay there while I'll stab you in the back with the words
I never, never, never should have taken this so far
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
And think how you hate me so bad
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
And think how you hate me so bad
I could write about a thousand songs to impress you
But I wouldn't want to do that
I could make you feel like the queen of the world, but I won't
'Cause you're full of imperfections
And this is coming from a third perspective
All I'm saying is you need to be selective
This is coming from a gentleman
With your needs in mind, I've got his on the side
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
And think how you hate me so bad
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
And think how you hate me so bad
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep
And think how you hate me so bad
Go ahead and buy yourself a drink
'Cause you know you're deserving of it
Go ahead, go ahead
And think how you hate me so bad

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
He's right, It's queen of the world, and full of imperfections. Quite audible.
