@[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.
Every instant second a suspension of forever
a frail continuous sequence spanning over lives
blindfolded by stars we roam in our realm
striving to the very last dwindling at the most
relentless marching in the waste we produce for living
tending to forget we are not the lasting kind
every day we die we are slowly decomposing
the step we take upon the earth will be worn and lost
As the moment elapsed we walked in slow-motion
denying the tide we'll find our devotion
Possessed by our possessions we deny the present
in the gallery of achievements we look upon the past
and as the moment passed away recalling the restraint
counting and weighing the amount of our breaths
but strong in the knowledge of our lack of purpose
by learning the fear and gaining our composure
content at the surface dissension to come
peace in aloneness although all will be lost
At the moment elapsed we walked in slow-motion
awaiting the tide we'll find our devotion
a frail continuous sequence spanning over lives
blindfolded by stars we roam in our realm
striving to the very last dwindling at the most
relentless marching in the waste we produce for living
tending to forget we are not the lasting kind
every day we die we are slowly decomposing
the step we take upon the earth will be worn and lost
As the moment elapsed we walked in slow-motion
denying the tide we'll find our devotion
Possessed by our possessions we deny the present
in the gallery of achievements we look upon the past
and as the moment passed away recalling the restraint
counting and weighing the amount of our breaths
but strong in the knowledge of our lack of purpose
by learning the fear and gaining our composure
content at the surface dissension to come
peace in aloneness although all will be lost
At the moment elapsed we walked in slow-motion
awaiting the tide we'll find our devotion

Just A Little Lovin'

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.
It's an analysis of the passage of time, how we percieve it and how it affects us.
