@[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 turn around and I'm in your world
Your pleasure is my pain in your world
But dissatisfied, I'll crawl to your world
And your body's warmth
Will only leave me colder in my world
No, it's not what I wanted
But she's holding my hand
No, it's not what I wanted
At least she's holding my hand
Well, I'm inside out
I'm all inside out
Yes, she's tearing me apart
Well, I'm inside out
This casual arrangement
Leaves a bitter taste
Our usual commitments
That's just kill me and killing you
Well, our casual arrangement
Just leaves a bitter taste
Well, our usual commitments
Just killing me, killing you
And I wish it was
Oh, if I could change the world, I wish
Maybe if circumstances could allow, would allow
And you could come around again tonight
Oh, take me out of here
'Cause I'm never coming home
Oh, take me out of here
'Cause I'm never coming home
Well, I'm inside out
I'm all inside out
Yeah, she's tearing me apart
Well, I'm inside out
Well, this casual arrangement
Leaves a bitter taste
Our usual commitments
That's just killing me, killing you
We'd better change
We'd better change, change
We'd better change
We'd better change, change
Your pleasure is my pain in your world
But dissatisfied, I'll crawl to your world
And your body's warmth
Will only leave me colder in my world
No, it's not what I wanted
But she's holding my hand
No, it's not what I wanted
At least she's holding my hand
Well, I'm inside out
I'm all inside out
Yes, she's tearing me apart
Well, I'm inside out
This casual arrangement
Leaves a bitter taste
Our usual commitments
That's just kill me and killing you
Well, our casual arrangement
Just leaves a bitter taste
Well, our usual commitments
Just killing me, killing you
And I wish it was
Oh, if I could change the world, I wish
Maybe if circumstances could allow, would allow
And you could come around again tonight
Oh, take me out of here
'Cause I'm never coming home
Oh, take me out of here
'Cause I'm never coming home
Well, I'm inside out
I'm all inside out
Yeah, she's tearing me apart
Well, I'm inside out
Well, this casual arrangement
Leaves a bitter taste
Our usual commitments
That's just killing me, killing you
We'd better change
We'd better change, change
We'd better change
We'd better change, change

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'
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I don't think I've played a song as many times in a row as I've played this one.

The meaning is pretty obvious but its one of those songs you can just leave on repeat and never get tired of it.
I keep this song on repeat.
