@[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.
Pardon
Je ne dis pas bonjour
Je ne suis pas toujours
Ici, mais ailleurs
Ne le prenez
Pas à cœur
Je suis (je suis)
Ailleurs, je suis chez lui (chez lui)
Quand on connaît chez lui (chez lui)
Sans vouloir vous offenser
C'est dur de n'y pas penser
Chez lui
Il ne fait pas très clair
Plus d'une fois, je perds
La tête
À force de me cogner la tête
À force de le chercher
Pardon
Je ne dis pas bonsoir
Je passe sans vous voir
Si je suis ailleurs
Ne m'en tenez pas rigueur
Je suis (je suis)
Ailleurs, je suis chez lui (chez lui)
Sans connaître chez lui (chez lui)
Sans vouloir vous faire de peine
Difficile qu'on me comprenne
Chez lui
Pourtant il y fait noir
Et je voudrais bien voir
Sa tête
Car très souvent je perds
La tête
À chercher la lumière
Pardon
Je ne dis pas bonjour
Je ne dis pas bonjour
Je ne dis pas bonjour
Je ne suis pas toujours
Ici, mais ailleurs
Ne le prenez
Pas à cœur
Je suis (je suis)
Ailleurs, je suis chez lui (chez lui)
Quand on connaît chez lui (chez lui)
Sans vouloir vous offenser
C'est dur de n'y pas penser
Chez lui
Il ne fait pas très clair
Plus d'une fois, je perds
La tête
À force de me cogner la tête
À force de le chercher
Pardon
Je ne dis pas bonsoir
Je passe sans vous voir
Si je suis ailleurs
Ne m'en tenez pas rigueur
Je suis (je suis)
Ailleurs, je suis chez lui (chez lui)
Sans connaître chez lui (chez lui)
Sans vouloir vous faire de peine
Difficile qu'on me comprenne
Chez lui
Pourtant il y fait noir
Et je voudrais bien voir
Sa tête
Car très souvent je perds
La tête
À chercher la lumière
Pardon
Je ne dis pas bonjour
Je ne dis pas bonjour

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/
