@[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 call me up to tell me that you're sorry,
But sorry is as sorry does
You can call it what you want to,
But dammit, don't you dare call it love
You've got the nerve to ask me if I'm OK,
Boy give it a rest.
'Cause I'm good, and getting' better at being my best.
They say time can heal all wounds,
Well the sooner the better for me
'Cause a heart at war
Dang sure will make you be all that you can be
You tore me down piece by piece
But believe me there's plenty of me left.
Boy I'm good, gettin' better at being my best.
I've been thrown a lot of curves in this ol' world
But it's only made me strong
I suggest you do what I've done
And make this call your last one, and move on
No's my final answer, rest assured
That I'm not after anything less
Boy I'm good, gettin' better at being my best.
Oh I've cried a river, but you don't remember,
Let me refresh your memory one last time.
Boy I'm good, gettin' better at being my best.
Boy I'm good, gettin' better at being my best.
Boy I'm good,
Oh I'm getting' better
I'm good, gettin' better at being my best
But sorry is as sorry does
You can call it what you want to,
But dammit, don't you dare call it love
You've got the nerve to ask me if I'm OK,
Boy give it a rest.
'Cause I'm good, and getting' better at being my best.
They say time can heal all wounds,
Well the sooner the better for me
'Cause a heart at war
Dang sure will make you be all that you can be
You tore me down piece by piece
But believe me there's plenty of me left.
Boy I'm good, gettin' better at being my best.
I've been thrown a lot of curves in this ol' world
But it's only made me strong
I suggest you do what I've done
And make this call your last one, and move on
No's my final answer, rest assured
That I'm not after anything less
Boy I'm good, gettin' better at being my best.
Oh I've cried a river, but you don't remember,
Let me refresh your memory one last time.
Boy I'm good, gettin' better at being my best.
Boy I'm good, gettin' better at being my best.
Boy I'm good,
Oh I'm getting' better
I'm good, gettin' better at being my best

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/

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.
