@[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.
You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like
Before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby I know it
You've lost that loving feeling
Whoa, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Now there's no welcome look in your
Eyes when I reach for you
And girl you're starting to
Criticise little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cause, baby, something beautiful's dying
You've lost that loving feeling
Whoa, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like
You used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love
You don't find every day
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away
Baby (baby), Baby (baby)
I beg you please (wooo)
Please (wooo)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
Now it bring it on back (bring it on back)
Bring it on back (bring it on back)
Bring back that loving feeling
Whoa, that loving feeling
Bring back that loving feeling
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on
Whoa-whoa-whoa
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like
Before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby I know it
You've lost that loving feeling
Whoa, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Now there's no welcome look in your
Eyes when I reach for you
And girl you're starting to
Criticise little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cause, baby, something beautiful's dying
You've lost that loving feeling
Whoa, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like
You used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love
You don't find every day
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away
Baby (baby), Baby (baby)
I beg you please (wooo)
Please (wooo)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
Now it bring it on back (bring it on back)
Bring it on back (bring it on back)
Bring back that loving feeling
Whoa, that loving feeling
Bring back that loving feeling
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on
Whoa-whoa-whoa

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
