@[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.
Benny I was a fighter, always looking for trouble
And my life was so empty, there was nothing to live for
But then it happened one night
As I got into a fight
I could hear someone saying
As though he was praying
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help one day
We depend one one another
Love him, that's the only way
On the road
That we're going
We all need
Words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother
Love him, that's the only way
I was a woman, never thinking of others
And my life was so lonely, didn't care for anybody
But then I happened to meet
A begging man in the street
As I turned down his praying
I heard someone saying
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help one day
We depend one one another
Love him, that's the only way
On the road
That we're going
We all need
Words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother
Love him, that's the only way
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help one day
We depend one one another
Love him, that's the only way
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help one day
We depend one one another
Love him, that's the only way
And my life was so empty, there was nothing to live for
But then it happened one night
As I got into a fight
I could hear someone saying
As though he was praying
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help one day
We depend one one another
Love him, that's the only way
On the road
That we're going
We all need
Words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother
Love him, that's the only way
I was a woman, never thinking of others
And my life was so lonely, didn't care for anybody
But then I happened to meet
A begging man in the street
As I turned down his praying
I heard someone saying
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help one day
We depend one one another
Love him, that's the only way
On the road
That we're going
We all need
Words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother
Love him, that's the only way
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help one day
We depend one one another
Love him, that's the only way
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help one day
We depend one one another
Love him, that's the only way

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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/

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.
Brotherly love...the brother to "Philadelphia Freedom"...
