@[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 can't escape the feeling
That rises from the root
The sputter, then the silence
When two hearts run out of fuel
We painted little pictures
To escape the big
But now the light is fading
And all our love with it
And it won't quit
It's a long way to the end of the road
When you wandered, were you swallowed by the valley below?
So focus hard on every following step
Oh, 'cause forever is a long long time to guess
Oh, forever is a long time
Looking down the water
This way a ripple rolls
But turn your face away and
Still you feel the cold
But I'm shaking in my sheets now
There's nowhere left to hide
A hundred thousand mirrors
That shatter you and I
You and I
It's a long way to the end of the road
When you wandered, were you swallowed by the valley below?
So focus hard on every following step
Oh, 'cause forever is a long long time to guess
Oh, forever is a long time
That rises from the root
The sputter, then the silence
When two hearts run out of fuel
We painted little pictures
To escape the big
But now the light is fading
And all our love with it
And it won't quit
It's a long way to the end of the road
When you wandered, were you swallowed by the valley below?
So focus hard on every following step
Oh, 'cause forever is a long long time to guess
Oh, forever is a long time
Looking down the water
This way a ripple rolls
But turn your face away and
Still you feel the cold
But I'm shaking in my sheets now
There's nowhere left to hide
A hundred thousand mirrors
That shatter you and I
You and I
It's a long way to the end of the road
When you wandered, were you swallowed by the valley below?
So focus hard on every following step
Oh, 'cause forever is a long long time to guess
Oh, forever is a long time

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/
