@[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 pick a place and i'll be there
pick anything... that's what i'll be
give me anything to say
even if it's nothing
that's all you'll hear
everything was never enough for you
do you ever say my name?
or do you ever write down broken thoughts and turn them into songs to throw away?
do you ever close your eyes and wish they'll never open again?
i do
it's always worse in silence
no lies to tell
no one to hear
when air turns cold we sleep alone
every time i try to say your name
it's always worse on nights like this
and every night is just like this
how many times have you closed your eyes and wished just to be happy?
every night ends just like this for me, because we'll never be
we will never be
pick anything... that's what i'll be
give me anything to say
even if it's nothing
that's all you'll hear
everything was never enough for you
do you ever say my name?
or do you ever write down broken thoughts and turn them into songs to throw away?
do you ever close your eyes and wish they'll never open again?
i do
it's always worse in silence
no lies to tell
no one to hear
when air turns cold we sleep alone
every time i try to say your name
it's always worse on nights like this
and every night is just like this
how many times have you closed your eyes and wished just to be happy?
every night ends just like this for me, because we'll never be
we will never be

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/

Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
