The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Well loving loving loving wo oh wo oh
Well what do you think about loving baby (it's alright)
Well what do you think about loving baby (it's alright)
I said what do you think about loving baby (it's alright)
In the morning in the evening yeah and in the night wo oh wo oh
Well it's alright in the morning to start today out right
And it's alright in the evening to have somebody to hold you tight
And it's alright in the nighttime especially in the night
Baby any time any way loving's just alright wo oh wo oh
Well loving loving loving wo oh wo oh
Well what do you think about hugging baby (it's alright)
Well what do you think about kissing baby (it's alright)
Just what do you think about loving baby (it's alright)
In the morning in the evening yeah and in the night wo oh wo oh
And it's alright in the morning...
Well what do you think about loving baby (it's alright)
Well what do you think about loving baby (it's alright)
I said what do you think about loving baby (it's alright)
In the morning in the evening yeah and in the night wo oh wo oh
Well it's alright in the morning to start today out right
And it's alright in the evening to have somebody to hold you tight
And it's alright in the nighttime especially in the night
Baby any time any way loving's just alright wo oh wo oh
Well loving loving loving wo oh wo oh
Well what do you think about hugging baby (it's alright)
Well what do you think about kissing baby (it's alright)
Just what do you think about loving baby (it's alright)
In the morning in the evening yeah and in the night wo oh wo oh
And it's alright in the morning...

@[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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
