@[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, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend
Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me
No way, no way, no, it's not a secret
Hey, hey, you, you, I want to be your girlfriend
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend
Don't get it twisted, Lil Mama got her paper on
That mean I'm a paper chaser, I chase my paper on
And I gon' be chasing paper that you be chasing on
I just deliver them lyrics that people focus on
Get up in the booth and a chopped-up song
Put it in a store and they go cops on
Everybody know that it's no compo
Y'all better lay low like popos
'Case you ain't know, better already know
I goes in like Pac, Jay, so
So get it Biggie, Mama
B-R-double O-K-lyn drama
Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend (nope)
No way, no way, I think you need a new one (yep)
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend (yep)
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend
Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me (yep)
No way, no way, no, it's not a secret

Please, eight bars and stop
All I know's sixteen to pop
Told y'all y'all better act on top
Been doing this since Hop on Pop
Aww, thought about it can't stop
Problem is I'm crack on rocks
Problem is they love Mama style
So I gotta go harder than I did before
Her style is crossover
PeeWee Kirkland, Lil Mama
Ms. Kirkland's going in
So when you see me in the drop top shades
In the summer-time blazing
You wanna be my boyfriend
Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend (nope)
No way, no way, I think you need a new one (yep)
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend (yep)

Uh, in a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?
Uh, in a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?
I ain't hating, but, your girl's a bird
You by my side, make it work
You and her, that sounds absurd
Me and you more better, you heard?
You hear the way them girls laugh in the back
That's 'cause I spit crack on the track
I'm 'a keep it real boy, I'm tryna mack
Let me know if you down with that
Me and your girlfriend we ain't no tie
You better ask T.I.
I'm telling you like Jennifer Hudson
I got plastic elastic in the back of the Jag with chauffeur
Stacks, I'm popping tags on purses, bags is filled
I laugh 'cause this is nothing
Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend
Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is so catchy. I hated the original, but it grew on me. Damn Fuse. Lil Mama can f'n flow.
