@[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.
Drive a hard bargain baby
Think about you all night long
This road ain't getting shorter
Night's getting longer
Think about your good lov'in arms
Way back home
Where the good times roll
And the angels do stroll, yeah
Drive on through, all night
Always with you
All I need is good lov'in woman
All we really need is good times
Try to blow off a little steam
And embrace that silly life
Had too much of a good time one night
Sure did get into one hell of a fight
Yeah, that dude pulled a knife on me
All I really saw was red
Hey come on you mothers
I'm gonna break off your fucking head
All I need is good lov'in woman
All we really need is good times
You drive a hard bargain lady luck
Sometime you might smile
Right down on my soul
I'm talk'in about ahhhh
Like a run-a-way train
Drive through the night
Drive through the night
Drive through the day
Drive through the day
All I need is good lov'in woman
All we really need is good times
Ahhhhhhh. Yeahhhhhhh.
Just call me Wolfchild
For that is my name
I ain't got no claim to fame
No I don't
My face still feels the same
Yeah, you drive a hard bargain lady luck
Sure bought you some time
Sure bought you some time
All I need is good lov'in woman
All we really need is good times
Think about you all night long
This road ain't getting shorter
Night's getting longer
Think about your good lov'in arms
Way back home
Where the good times roll
And the angels do stroll, yeah
Drive on through, all night
Always with you
All I need is good lov'in woman
All we really need is good times
Try to blow off a little steam

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo

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/
