@[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.
We drove for hours
and we talked the whole way
I'm so enamored with the
things that you say
You talk so sweetly
I can taste it on my tongue
You got me spinnin'
got me feeling
like I'm something special
But I'm not sure I really am
cause I choke on all my opportunities
to say things right
I'm gonna try it now
What I wanted to say
What I wanted to say was
What I wanted to say was
I love you so much
I love you so much
I love you so much
What I wanted to say was
We got to the city
and you put your arm around my arm
and held me close
I felt so close
and then I felt it slipping slowly
through my fingers
down my leg and to the floor
like a sudden skipping
Where the word, it gets away
When we need it there beside my hand
and on my lips
What I wanted to say was
What I wanted to say was
What I wanted to say was
What I wanted to say was
I love you so much
I love you so much
What I wanted to say was
I love you so much
I love you so much
I love you so much
and we talked the whole way
I'm so enamored with the
things that you say
You talk so sweetly
I can taste it on my tongue
You got me spinnin'
got me feeling
like I'm something special
But I'm not sure I really am
cause I choke on all my opportunities
to say things right
I'm gonna try it now
What I wanted to say
What I wanted to say was
What I wanted to say was
I love you so much
I love you so much
I love you so much
What I wanted to say was
We got to the city
and you put your arm around my arm
and held me close
I felt so close
and then I felt it slipping slowly
through my fingers
down my leg and to the floor
like a sudden skipping
Where the word, it gets away
When we need it there beside my hand
and on my lips
What I wanted to say was
What I wanted to say was
What I wanted to say was
What I wanted to say was
I love you so much
I love you so much
What I wanted to say was
I love you so much
I love you so much
I love you so much

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/

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.
Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
I cant believe this hasnt been commented on...in 2006 i saw dashboard play at Oneonta and Chris gave us a preview of this song...it floored me. I have been LOOKING for this song to come out since. when i heard it though, the lyrics were..."what i meant to say, what i meant to say was...what i meant to say was...i love you so much..."
Can I listen to it anywhere?

what CD is this song on?
It's a live recording. It was performed two or three times a few years ago.
i wish there was a proper recording of this, because if there would; i think it would be my favourite dc song.. :(
I absolutely adore this song. It's such a shame they never released a decent quality version of this.
