@[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.
When you read the news
Does it make you sick?
Murder, money, politics
Gonna fill you up
Get your bullshit fix
It's the end of the world
Grab your crucifix
And fall to your knees
And beg God please
Have mercy on me (Mercy!)
When you turn on the TV
What do you get?
Sex, lies, scandal, violence
Like the end of a gun
Pressed against your lips
It's the end of the world
Grab your crucifix
And fall to your knees
And beg God please
Have mercy on me
When you can't buy gas
And you can't pay rent
And what you've got left
Is the Government's
No win
No future
No benefit
It's the end of the world
Grab your crucifix
And fall to your knees
And beg God please
Have mercy on me
Coming out of the hypocrisy
Coming out of the bureaucracy
Coming in to lead a war
They're a shame
You can ignore what you cannot see
You can believe in a lie
You can run away from anything
Until you open your eyes
No rest for the wicked
Yeah they never quit
Watchin', waiting
For the next trick
We won't be celebrating
When the atom's split
It's the end of the world
Grab your crucifix
And fall to your knees
And beg god please
Have mercy on me
Coming out of the hypocrisy
Coming out of the bureaucracy
Coming in to lead a war
They're a shame
You can ignore what you cannot see
You can believe in a lie
You can run away from anything
Until you open your eyes
Coming out of the hypocrisy
Coming out of the bureaucracy
Coming in to lead a war
They're a shame
Does it make you sick?
Murder, money, politics
Gonna fill you up
Get your bullshit fix
It's the end of the world
Grab your crucifix
And fall to your knees
And beg God please
Have mercy on me (Mercy!)

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.

Your lyrics were pretty close to correct. I just wanna say, I absolutely frickin' LOVE this song! In my opinion, best song on the album. It's amazingly blunt and in your face, tackling issues that no one wants to talk about. I love all the verses and the beat is insane. If you don't like this song, you're crazy! Thanks for posting :)
THANK YOU for posting the correct lyrics lol. I agree -- possibly the best on the album and if you don't like it you're CRAZY! :))
