@[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.
As far as I can tell
I'm nothing like a princess
but today I find myself
curling up behind the house
There's nothing in the air today
now I know I'm not so important
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
I don't have a hawk in my heart
no dumbass dove in my brain
I don't have a hawk in my heart
no dumbass dove in my dumbass brain
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
I don't have a hawk in my heart
no I don't have a hawk in my heart
no I don't have a hawk in...
I'm nothing like a princess
but today I find myself
curling up behind the house
There's nothing in the air today
now I know I'm not so important
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
I don't have a hawk in my heart
no dumbass dove in my brain
I don't have a hawk in my heart
no dumbass dove in my dumbass brain
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
I don't have a hawk in my heart
no I don't have a hawk in my heart
no I don't have a hawk in...

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/

About given false self-confidence. He has been fed this idea of him beeing almost almighty and now it all has come crumbling down. Regretting his foolishness. He is realizing that and wants a little reassurance. Somebody to lean on for a while.
