@[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.
There's something you don't know
I've walked you off to keep you on your toes
There's something you didn't know
I've grown some bones, so I can walk you off
Tonight, tonight, everything's alright, tonight, tonight
If I were in your shoes I'd run a thousand miles just to tell you
If I were in your room, using just my eyes I would tell you
I would tell you
There's something you didn't know
You've got your teeth in me and it hurts
And I'm a lie away from saying what I really think
This is the bottom of the bottle saying swim or sink
And you don't even need me now
Tonight, tonight, everything's alright, tonight, tonight
If I were in your shoes I'd run a thousand miles just to tell you
If I were in your room, using just my eyes I would tell you
If I were in your shoes I'd run a thousand miles just to tell you
If I were in your room, using just my eyes I would tell you
If I were in your shoes (If I were in your)
And I'm a lie away from saying what I really think
This is the bottom of the bottle saying swim or sink
And you don't even need me now
I've walked you off to keep you on your toes
There's something you didn't know
I've grown some bones, so I can walk you off
Tonight, tonight, everything's alright, tonight, tonight
If I were in your shoes I'd run a thousand miles just to tell you
If I were in your room, using just my eyes I would tell you
I would tell you
There's something you didn't know
You've got your teeth in me and it hurts
And I'm a lie away from saying what I really think
This is the bottom of the bottle saying swim or sink
And you don't even need me now
Tonight, tonight, everything's alright, tonight, tonight
If I were in your shoes I'd run a thousand miles just to tell you
If I were in your room, using just my eyes I would tell you
If I were in your shoes I'd run a thousand miles just to tell you
If I were in your room, using just my eyes I would tell you
If I were in your shoes (If I were in your)
And I'm a lie away from saying what I really think
This is the bottom of the bottle saying swim or sink
And you don't even need me now

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/
