@[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.
Bury your dead
Sing your songs
Everyone knows them
We all sing along
Ring the church bells
Hear them cry
Everyone lives
Everyone dies
Cry out to the gunshots
Resonance in distant lands
Pry your nails from the coffin
Let go of your grip on my hands
Bury your dead
May they rest in peace
Everyone feels this
Nobody bleeds
Ring the church bells
The organs scream
Everyone awakes
Into a sweet dream
Cry out to the gunshots
Resonance in distant lands
Pry your nails from the coffin
Let go of your grip on my hands
I'm not waiting for another opportunity
I'm not waiting for another
I'm not waiting for a new community
I'm not waiting for another
Cry out to the gunshots
Resonance in distant lands
Pry your nails from the coffin
Let go of your grip on my hands
We've been here once
I let you live
You bury me
And then you dig
We've been here twice
I let you die
I laugh out loud
I scream and cry
Cry out to the gunshots
Resonance in distant lands
Pry your nails from the coffin
Let go of your grip on my hands
I'm not waiting for another...

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/
