@[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.
Try to keep the distance,
Since you threw my life away
My courage into pieces
I couldn't make you stay
Hate, pain and tears
Life can be a tragedy
Dreams becoming nightmares,
Some visions left behind
What could have been,
What cold have last?
You're always on my mind
Love, joy and laughter,
Life can be a miracle
And my heart made of steel,
But my soul turns to stone
And I'm going where no one goes
I carry my load, I'm walking alone
I'm crying, where the wind blows
Lovers score and lovers fail,
Here ain't no compromise
Back to back and face the future
It's a devil in disguise
Fear, darkness and vain
Life can be a deadly maze
And my heart made of steel,
But my soul turns to stone
And I'm going where no one goes
I carry my load, I'm walking alone
I'm crying, where the wind blows
Since you threw my life away
My courage into pieces
I couldn't make you stay
Hate, pain and tears
Life can be a tragedy
Dreams becoming nightmares,
Some visions left behind
What could have been,
What cold have last?
You're always on my mind
Love, joy and laughter,
Life can be a miracle
And my heart made of steel,
But my soul turns to stone
And I'm going where no one goes
I carry my load, I'm walking alone
I'm crying, where the wind blows
Lovers score and lovers fail,
Here ain't no compromise
Back to back and face the future
It's a devil in disguise
Fear, darkness and vain
Life can be a deadly maze
And my heart made of steel,
But my soul turns to stone
And I'm going where no one goes
I carry my load, I'm walking alone
I'm crying, where the wind blows

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/
