@[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.
Well, you can't be my lovin', baby
You ain't got the style
I'm a gonna get some real gone love
That'll drive a cool cat wild
I wanna move, move on down the line
Gonna get me a gal then I go out on the town
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal, make some time
You're gonna leave me square, she can't be slow
And when she starts a struttin', we gotta go
I'm gonna move, move on down the line
Well, I'm in love, have been all the time
Yeah, I'm gonna show, you ain't so hot
I'm gonna get, what you ain't got
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong
She'll be cool and twice as gone
We're gonna roll on, roll on down the line
I'm gonna get some love, lovin' that's truly fine
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get some lovin', truly fine
A love that'll be twice as gone
And when she starts a struttin', she's gotta go
I wanna move on, move on down the line
Well, I'm gonna do right, do right all the time
I'm gonna do right, do right all the time
You ain't got the style
I'm a gonna get some real gone love
That'll drive a cool cat wild
I wanna move, move on down the line
Gonna get me a gal then I go out on the town
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal, make some time
You're gonna leave me square, she can't be slow
And when she starts a struttin', we gotta go
I'm gonna move, move on down the line
Well, I'm in love, have been all the time
Yeah, I'm gonna show, you ain't so hot
I'm gonna get, what you ain't got
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong
She'll be cool and twice as gone
We're gonna roll on, roll on down the line
I'm gonna get some love, lovin' that's truly fine
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get some lovin', truly fine
A love that'll be twice as gone
And when she starts a struttin', she's gotta go
I wanna move on, move on down the line
Well, I'm gonna do right, do right all the time
I'm gonna do right, do right all the time
