@[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.
If I tried
Would you still call me son?
If I tried
Would you call me at all?
If I say that I'll go regardless of what you want me to do I'm better off without
I'm better off without you
If I change my mind it won't be soon enough for you
But I'm not you
I'll try to compromise for you to see that there's
So many other things for me to find out
Run myself to the ground
Would you please forgive me if I found my way back home?
Everything I see
Everything I do
Everywhere I've been
These mean nothing to you?

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/

Ditto to what everyone else has said.
My parents have made all my decisions for so long, and I'm sick of it. I'm trying to tell them that I don't need or want them any longer in that capacity, but they don't seem to get it. They don't understand that I'm better off without them. So I'll just leave.
