@[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.
I may have taken a hit but I'm willing and blind
Oh, a little girl took a little chunk right out of my side
I feel a bond between us
I have felt like you do
I know better than to take it away from you
Girl, little girl, you need to learn
Little girl, what it is to be a woman
I have right, the only one in my life
A right to what is rightfully mine
Untainted, untempting, and sober
I will never touch that skin again
I will never feel that way again
I will never look into the face of my father or my friends
And be able to say, I'm okay, I'm okay, I don't feel pain anyway
Not anymore, anyway
And I'm not dead yet, but I could be soon
And all I want to do is put my arms around you
Little girl, you got screwed
Girl, little girl, you need to learn, little girl
What it is to be a woman
Oh, a little girl took a little chunk right out of my side
I feel a bond between us
I have felt like you do
I know better than to take it away from you
Girl, little girl, you need to learn
Little girl, what it is to be a woman
I have right, the only one in my life
A right to what is rightfully mine
Untainted, untempting, and sober
I will never touch that skin again
I will never feel that way again
I will never look into the face of my father or my friends
And be able to say, I'm okay, I'm okay, I don't feel pain anyway
Not anymore, anyway
And I'm not dead yet, but I could be soon
And all I want to do is put my arms around you
Little girl, you got screwed
Girl, little girl, you need to learn, little girl
What it is to be a woman

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/
