@[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.
If she knew what she wants
If she knew what she needs
If she knew what she wants
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
She wants everything
Or there's nothing she wants
He's crazy for this girl
if she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
I'd say her values are corrupted
But she's open to change
Then one day she's satisfied
And the next I'll find her crying
And it's nothing she can explain
Hey, hey
'Cause some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she won't understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line, when they could fly
And there's no sense thinking
I could rehabilitate her when she's fine, fine, fine
She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesn't need nothing from mine
If she knew what she wants
If she knew what she needs
If she knew what she wants
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
She wants everything
Or there's nothing she wants
He's crazy for this girl
if she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her now
If she knew what she needs
If she knew what she wants
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
She wants everything
Or there's nothing she wants
He's crazy for this girl
if she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
I'd say her values are corrupted
But she's open to change
Then one day she's satisfied
And the next I'll find her crying
And it's nothing she can explain
Hey, hey
'Cause some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she won't understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line, when they could fly
And there's no sense thinking
I could rehabilitate her when she's fine, fine, fine
She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesn't need nothing from mine
If she knew what she wants
If she knew what she needs
If she knew what she wants
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
She wants everything
Or there's nothing she wants
He's crazy for this girl
if she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her now

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/

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.
