@[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.
and when the world ended
i thought of what to keep
and when the world ended
it turned to side with
(prechorus)
you were the one who never had enough of me
i was the one who needed a break
i've got a touch had a brush with nostalgia
the same record still plays this time says
(chorus)
say how you miss him so bad
save yourself while you still can
i'm on my knees for what you need
as i think back to how things changed
i want it all you wanted me
now nothing's safe or what it seems
and when the world ended
i stretched what's left of greed
and when the world ended
their den it shined for
(prechorus)
you were the one who always got the best of me
i was the one who needed some space
i've got a plan but for the highest bidder
i'll make sabotage ring while you still
(chorus)
(bridge)
so grab your new lover
tell him you need him
i'm in the background
making things happen
i've got some orders
you are the mission
you are adjusted
you're too adjusted
and when the world ended
i thought of what i'd need
i knew just what i'd need
and when the world ended
i thought i heard you
(chorus)
i thought of what to keep
and when the world ended
it turned to side with
(prechorus)
you were the one who never had enough of me
i was the one who needed a break
i've got a touch had a brush with nostalgia
the same record still plays this time says

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/
