@[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 can learn to live with all the things I've done.
I can turn my face up towards the sun.
Now I'm set to embrace.
Learn from my mistakes.
I can leave it behind and do whatever it takes.
I can clean the slate.
It's a new day.
It's a good day and I'm moving on.
I've been keeping all of this inside for way too long.
Dreaming of a way to start my own revolution.
Dwelling on the ways that everyone's done me wrong.
I'm moving on.
I'm leaving all of this behind me.
I'll admit you got me, but that was only once.
I won't live so blindly because I can learn to confront.
I can clean the Slate.
It's a new day.
It's a good day and I'm moving on.
I've been keeping all of this inside for way too long.
Dreaming of a way to start my own revolution.
Dwelling on the ways that everyone's done me wrong.
I'm moving on.
I'm leaving all of this behind me.
I have learned to tolerate,
and now there's nothing you can say about me,
to make me feel like I'm not something.
That was the old me and it's a new day.
I'm moving on.
I've been keeping all of this inside for way too long.
Dreaming of a way to start my own revolution.
Dwelling on the ways that everyone's done me wrong.
I'm moving on.
I'm leaving all of this behind me.
I'm moving on.
It's been so long.
I can turn my face up towards the sun.
Now I'm set to embrace.
Learn from my mistakes.
I can leave it behind and do whatever it takes.
I can clean the slate.
It's a new day.
It's a good day and I'm moving on.
I've been keeping all of this inside for way too long.
Dreaming of a way to start my own revolution.
Dwelling on the ways that everyone's done me wrong.
I'm moving on.
I'm leaving all of this behind me.
I'll admit you got me, but that was only once.
I won't live so blindly because I can learn to confront.
I can clean the Slate.
It's a new day.
It's a good day and I'm moving on.
I've been keeping all of this inside for way too long.
Dreaming of a way to start my own revolution.
Dwelling on the ways that everyone's done me wrong.
I'm moving on.
I'm leaving all of this behind me.
I have learned to tolerate,
and now there's nothing you can say about me,
to make me feel like I'm not something.
That was the old me and it's a new day.
I'm moving on.
I've been keeping all of this inside for way too long.
Dreaming of a way to start my own revolution.
Dwelling on the ways that everyone's done me wrong.
I'm moving on.
I'm leaving all of this behind me.
I'm moving on.
It's been so long.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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/
