Well growing up never made much sense to me
But dealing with this life I lead
And making oh so many plans
That never seem to come true in the end
And yeah I know that we were young
But age doesn't mean much when you're truly in love
I'll hold on to the feeling I've always had
And hope that one day I will see you again
Oh I know that one day I will see you again
And I'll keep holding my breath

So let's trace those steps
Back to where we first met
A place I'll never forget
Cause you and I, we can't let
All this space between
A perfect you, a perfect me
It's just so hard to believe
That you're gone

I tried my luck at so many things
I've seen enough joy to make me want to sing
I've hit the highest of highs, the lowest of lows
Right now I'm sick and tired of being alone
And as I trace those steps, the same very steps
That lead up to the room where we once slept
I've got this pain in my chest
Oh this pain that's too deep to keep tight lipped
Oh, so I'll keep holding my breath

And I'll trace those steps
Back to where we first met
A place I'll never forget
Cause you and I, we can't let
All this space between
A perfect you, a perfect me
It's just so hard to believe
That you're gone

And oh my god this hurts like hell
And how am I supposed to tell myself
That if I keep on singing my way through this
One day, I'll be fine
One day, I'll be fine

So I'll trace those steps
Back to where we first met
A place I'll never forget
Cause you and I, we can't let
Anything get in between
A perfect you, a perfect me
Now I know, I believe
That you're not gone

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

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/
