@[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.
Sick and tired of waiting around
For you to see
This is better than what you would ever dream it to be
It's hard and tempting for someone
Not to say it out loud
You should know by now
What it's all about
Slowly moving up from under
Where you kept her
Mentally abused her
Uninvited frustration
Angry but still believing
Keeping in mind it's a goal that's
Worth achieving
Sick and tired of waiting around
For you to see
This is better than what you would ever dream it to be
It's hard and tempting for someone
Not to say it out loud
You should know by now
What it's all about
Persistance makes it better
Makes her stronger
Harder to get her
Enough of being so hopeless
She knows she's been there before
Now she feels she can cope with
The emotional downpour
Sick and tired of waiting around
For you to see
This is better than what you would ever dream it to be
It's hard and tempting for someone
Not to say it out loud
You should know by now
What it's all about
Yeah
One more exscuse and she'll explode
One more abuse and she'll erode
Diminish and carry away
She won't stagnate or linger behind
Your destruction won't poison her mind
She will fight and stay alive
Sick and tired of waiting around
For you to see
This is better than what you would ever dream it to be
It's hard and tempting for someone
Not to say it out loud
You should know by now
What it's all about
Yeah, yeah
Just what it's all about
Just what it's all about

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/
