@[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're an empty head in a hotel room,
With an empty hour in the afternoon.
And empty are the colors that your leaving soon,
For an empty road under the moon.
You're a makeshift island in a sea of red.
Holding back a beast that was slain instead.
And empty are the molds where you place your head.
Do you really see a heaven in this sinking lead?
Are you lookin' in the dark, when you could see too far? Oh too far
Paradise is not a mask, but a single spark.
Rolling all around your a ball of steel,
Looking for the ground that you used to feel.
But this tasteless space you learned to shield,
Made you a faceless maze and you were forced to yield.
Are you lookin' in the dark, when you could see too far? Oh too far
Paradise is not a mask, but a single spark.
It is not home that you know,
It is not gold that you've stowed. You are strong and you have hope.
Now be strong enough to go, enough to go, enough to go
Why you lookin' in the dark, when you could see too far? Oh too far
Paradise is not a mask, but a single spark.
Why you lookin' in the dark, when you could see too far? Oh too far
Paradise is not a mask, but a single spark.
With an empty hour in the afternoon.
And empty are the colors that your leaving soon,
For an empty road under the moon.
You're a makeshift island in a sea of red.
Holding back a beast that was slain instead.
And empty are the molds where you place your head.
Do you really see a heaven in this sinking lead?
Are you lookin' in the dark, when you could see too far? Oh too far
Paradise is not a mask, but a single spark.
Rolling all around your a ball of steel,
Looking for the ground that you used to feel.
But this tasteless space you learned to shield,
Made you a faceless maze and you were forced to yield.
Are you lookin' in the dark, when you could see too far? Oh too far
Paradise is not a mask, but a single spark.
It is not home that you know,
It is not gold that you've stowed. You are strong and you have hope.
Now be strong enough to go, enough to go, enough to go
Why you lookin' in the dark, when you could see too far? Oh too far
Paradise is not a mask, but a single spark.
Why you lookin' in the dark, when you could see too far? Oh too far
Paradise is not a mask, but a single spark.

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/
