The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Hellhound.. hellbound.. hot on ya trail and hungry for the sound of ya cryin'.
Cold shivers in the back when I'll light the match. I'm burnin' hot like ya thermostats.
Overdose when I push up inside ride on a bed of fire, baby I can take you higher.
I like the way you cut me, I like the way you fuck me, I like it when you tie me up, I hope you like it rough.
And you will fly with me, you'll get high with me.
You'll lay down with me, you'll cry out loud with me.
And you will fly with me, you'll get high with me.
You'll lay down with me, you'll cry out loud with me.
Cold chills up and down your spine, don't mind when I come from behind,
I see you laid back in ecstasy, as I eat you alive.
And hit it like a landmine, oh woman you're so fine, fine.. fine.. and your all mine.
I want to tease you, I want to please you, I want to burn you, and I want to bleed you.
And you will fly with me, you'll get high with me.
You'll lay down with me, you'll cry out loud with me.
And you will fly with me, you'll get high with me.
You'll lay down with me, you'll cry out loud with me.
And you will fly with me, you'll get high with me.
You'll lay down with me, you'll cry out loud with me.
And you will fly with me, you'll get high with me.
You'll lay down with me, you'll cry out loud with me.
I will invade you're senses, I'll see you in your dreams,
Hold out your arms, so I can break you at the seams.
My little lover.. under cover,
you shiver, and shake, and quake, and break like no other,
Little lover.. yeah, little lover.. oh, little lover.. yeah, little lover.. oh, little lover.
You shiver, and shake, and quake.
You shiver, and shake, and quake, and break.
You shiver, and shake, and quake.
You shiver, and shake, and quake, and break.
You shiver, and shake, and quake.
You shiver, and shake, and quake, and break.
My little lover...

@[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.
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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I actually like this song....the lead singers very...hot...hee hee
