@[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.
I bruise you
You bruise me
We both bruise too easily
Too easily to let it show
I love you and that's all I know
All my plans
Have fallen through
All my plans depend on you
Depend on you to help them grow
I love you and that's all I know
When the singer's gone
Let the song go on
But the ending always comes at last
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast
But they pass too slow
I love you and that's all I know
When the singer's gone
Let the song go on
It's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn
They say in the darkest night, there's a light beyond
But the ending always comes at last
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast
But they pass too slow
I love you and that's all I know
That's all I know
That's all I know
You bruise me
We both bruise too easily
Too easily to let it show
I love you and that's all I know
All my plans
Have fallen through
All my plans depend on you
Depend on you to help them grow
I love you and that's all I know
When the singer's gone
Let the song go on
But the ending always comes at last
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast
But they pass too slow
I love you and that's all I know
When the singer's gone
Let the song go on
It's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn
They say in the darkest night, there's a light beyond
But the ending always comes at last
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast
But they pass too slow
I love you and that's all I know
That's all I know
That's all I know

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, combined with Art Garfunkels voice its just pure heaven. Quite simply the song means that through everything, the one constant is that he loves her. This song makes me weak at the knees
It is about a love that has been damaged by the inability of two people to confront how they have hurt each other, and to resolve the pain so that the relationship can take root and grow. In the end, the pain of the bruises has exceeded the pleasure of the love; leaving the haunting hollowness of a relationship that could have been.
Essentially, for love to grow, nurturing it is a two way street; both people have to work to nourish it, without that the is no dawn, just the unending darkness.
It is a dark, bittersweet song of a love that never could be.
I (re) discovered this song several years ago while in the latter stages of a serious but tumultuous relationships when little was going right in my life or our relationship. The simple but poignant theme of "I love you and that's all I know" described my feelings perfectly. The line "but the ending always comes too fast" still breaks my heart a little. B/c I was exactly at that point: where you start to become aware that it's most likely ending, and even if you know its for the best, you remember all the great times, and wonder where they went.
B/c he wasn't a particularly talented song writer, Art to me is often sort of given the brush off as an artist, but he's performance in this song is simply stunning. In the right mood, I can listen to this song over and over again for days on end.
This song haunts me now, because so many of the lyrics apply to my relationship with my dad, who is dying of cancer. He was a musician, so "When the singer's gone, let the song go on," is really meaningful to me. And the part about endings is so true.
The ending is coming too fast. But as his daughter, I am the song that must go on.
I agree that Art Garfunkel did the song perfectly. Other singers could have made it maudlin, but the simplicity and plainness with which Garfunkel sings makes it moving and, in a certain way, sweet.
I think it's about his relationship with Paul Simon
I can't believe this song doesn't have any comments its simply beautifull
