@[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.
Say what you say I just sail away,
She can't stand me but I miss her face
I feel like drowning but the tides too low
And now I'm waiting for the undertow
So I, stand tall it gets a little better,
I see the wall we can break down together,
Stand strong, it's gets a little better now,
(We can break it down, yes we can break it)
So I, stand tall it gets a little better,
I see the wall we can break down together,
Stand strong, it's gets a little better now,
(We can break it down, yes we can break it)
Well I can only take so much,
Depression ain't gonna pressure us,
Oh, they came to watch us fall,
Oh yes, they came to watch us fall,
We will rise up against them all
So I, stand tall it gets a little better,
I see the wall we can break down together,
Stand strong, it's gets a little better now,
(We can break it down, yes we can break it)
Pardon me if I'm too loud
Sing my song gonna sing it proud
No ones gonna bring me down
Gonna stand up strong gonna hold my ground
Tell me what are we fighting for
Change to do we done before
Tell me what are we fighting for (yeah yeah yeah)
Pardon me if I'm too loud
Sing my song gonna sing it proud
No ones gonna bring me down
Gonna stand up strong gonna hold my ground
Tell me what are we fighting for
Change to do we done before
Tell me what are we fighting for (yeah yeah yeah)
So I, stand tall it gets a little better,
I see the wall we can break down together,
Stand strong, it's gets a little better now,

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/

Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
