@[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.
If a single drop of honey
Would bring you to me
I'd break that sweet rock open
And hold it out for thee
She asked him for a penny
He gave her a dime
She asked him to stay forever
He said "all will come in time"
If a single drop of honey
Would bring you to me
I'd break that sweet rock open
And hold it out for thee
She prayed for him to come back
He sent a voice true
She barely heard the words
He said "I'm not so far from you"
If a single drop of honey
Would bring you to me
I break that sweet rock open
And hold it out for thee
She grew old holding on
He called from her afar
"You desire more than men are able,
Find me in your heart"
Would bring you to me
I'd break that sweet rock open
And hold it out for thee
She asked him for a penny
He gave her a dime
She asked him to stay forever
He said "all will come in time"
If a single drop of honey
Would bring you to me
I'd break that sweet rock open
And hold it out for thee
She prayed for him to come back
He sent a voice true
She barely heard the words
He said "I'm not so far from you"
If a single drop of honey
Would bring you to me
I break that sweet rock open
And hold it out for thee
She grew old holding on
He called from her afar
"You desire more than men are able,
Find me in your heart"

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
