@[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.
Indifference is taking me out of it
taking me out of that
common sense is taking is out again
skipping me over
I'm beginning
I'm starting me up again
starting me up again
Common threads
Are standin' me up, man
Choppin' me over
It hit you like a bus when
Her message drove across your forehead
That you were on your own, now
At least that's what the note said
Man, manned your boat,
Some died, damn
Nine words, besides they chose it
But you don't measure up now
Maybe you never did
Maybe you never did
Malevolence
Slips through the cracks again
Stabbin' my back again
Irrelevance,
It tries to greet you,
making me see through
I'm beginning
to thinking there might have been
some part of the problem
and common sense
sails my boat again
it's bottling out again
it hit you like a bus when
her message drove across your forehead
that you were on your own now
at least that's what the note said
Man, manned your boat,
Some died, damn
Nine words, besides they chose it
But you don't measure up now
Maybe you never did
taking me out of that
common sense is taking is out again
skipping me over
I'm beginning
I'm starting me up again
starting me up again
Common threads
Are standin' me up, man
Choppin' me over
It hit you like a bus when
Her message drove across your forehead
That you were on your own, now

Man, manned your boat,
Some died, damn
Nine words, besides they chose it
But you don't measure up now

Just A Little Lovin'

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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
