The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
La la la, la la la la
I know your kind of girl
You only care about one thing
"Who you've seen, or where you've been?"
"Who's got money?"
I see that look in your eyes
It tells a million lies
But deep inside, I know why
You're talking to him
I know what you're all about
I really hope he figures it out
She's one of those girls
They're nothing but trouble
Just one look and now you're seeing double
Before you know it she'll be gone
Off to the next one
She's so good that you won't see it comin'
She'll take you for a ride, and you'll be left with nothing
You'll be broke, and she'll be gone
Off to the next one
Oh, oh, oh
Off to the next one
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh
She's gonna be the end of you
At least that's what they say
It's been a while
You're in denial
And now it's too late
The way she looks makes you hide
All the warning signs
'Cause her blond hair, her blue eyes
Makes you wanna die
I know what she's all about
I really hope you figure it out
She's one of those girls
They're nothing but trouble
Just one look and now you're seeing double
Before you know it she'll be gone
Off to the next one
She's so good that you won't see it comin'
She'll take you for a ride, and you'll be left with nothing
You'll be broke, and she'll be gone
Off to the next one
You know it's a game, you know it's a game
She keeps playing around with your head
Playing around with your head
She's so insane, so insane
She's the one to blame, she's the one to blame
She's one of those girls
They're nothing but trouble
Just one look and now you're seeing double
Before you know it she'll be gone
Off to the next one
She's so good that you won't see it comin'
She'll take you for a ride, and you'll be left with nothing
You'll be broke, and she'll be gone
Off to the next one
Oh, oh, oh
Off to the next one
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Off to the next one
I know your kind of girl
You only care about one thing
"Who you've seen, or where you've been?"
"Who's got money?"
I see that look in your eyes

But deep inside, I know why
You're talking to him

@[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.

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
She's a materialistic bitch-succubus, I believe is what the song is saying. The guy is gonna spend all his money on her.
