@[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.
Please raise your child today
The way that you were born to play
Way that we all disappeared
Allowing us to shed our fears
Paint your every step
When you fooled enough to want to die
When you cry
You will find
Falling stars drain every night
Falling stars drain
Please raise your child today
The way that you were told to play
The way that we all disappeared
Allowing us to shed our fears
Paint your every step
When you fooled enough to want to die
When you cry
You will find
Falling stars drain every night
Falling stars drain every night
Falling stars drain
In an arrested silence
We plead to our insane gods
And their voices in our heads
Like the silence in the woods to stop appeasing man
And his cruel culture of economic global domination
The balance remains between that which is sought by the few (weapons)
Profit and that which is sought by the most, peace (oh, peace)
Falling stars drain every night
Falling stars drain every night
I can't believe that you wanted me so much pain, every
Die, die-die, die-die, die-die
Die, die-die, die-die, die-die
Die, die-die, die, die-die-die
The way that you were born to play
Way that we all disappeared
Allowing us to shed our fears
Paint your every step
When you fooled enough to want to die
When you cry
You will find
Falling stars drain every night
Falling stars drain
Please raise your child today

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/
