@[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.
Take
Take what you can
You're entitled to the prize
Fill you up with
All that you can take
Take what you can
You're the princess and the prince
Fill you up with
All that you can take
I heard that you were the last to leave
The party you just had to see
Where everybody had to be
The best in town
Heard they tried to kick you out
'Cause you were foaming at the mouth
Holding ground you had to play
'Cause who knows what you'll win today
You've got to figure out how high you'll get by doing nothing
Opportunity presents itself at every turn
Stick around you never know whose ego you can stroke
Which mask to wear a rung to climb to suck up
Stick around you never know whose ego you can stroke
A rung to climb a pill a line a mask to hide your face
I'm breaking out
Don't keep me down
I'm missing out
Don't keep me
Hey I'm freaking out
Don't turn me down
You're getting there
For sure
Real close
All over the bathroom floor
Who's getting it
You sure
We need more
Never mind the night's
Run
Out
Eyes are spinning
Look at me
You're winning
Can't you see
Lights colliding
You're spun out
You're climbing straight to the top
Your fortune still waiting
You keep climbing
Straight to the top
Your fortune still waiting
Yeah on your hands and knees so you can take
All that you can
All that you can
All that you can
All that you can take
It's getting so close that you can taste it
It's getting so close that you can taste it
Whoa!
It's getting so close
You're getting it
For sure
Your clothes all over the bedroom floor
Who's getting it?
Are you sure?
Need more
Never mind just get
Out
Take what you can
You're entitled to the prize
Fill you up with
All that you can take
Take what you can
You're the princess and the prince
Fill you up with
All that you can take
I heard that you were the last to leave
The party you just had to see
Where everybody had to be
The best in town
Heard they tried to kick you out
'Cause you were foaming at the mouth
Holding ground you had to play
'Cause who knows what you'll win today
You've got to figure out how high you'll get by doing nothing

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
In my opinion the song is about people being taken advantage of in the porn industry or just sexually. "Your fortune still waiting" and "It's getting so close you can taste it" mean that they're bribing you with something and make you get "on your hands and knees so you can take all that you can take." And in the end they just leave you with nothing and say "never mind just get out."
