The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
The do's and don'ts of Young Money Cash Money
Rule fucking number one
Don't fucking do one fucking song on a motherfucking album
Get one motherfucking check, and go fucking crazy
And then get dropped from the motherfucking label
And now you got your motherfucking fans like
"What happened to you?" "When you coming out?"
Ah-ah, ah-ah
"I'm coming out, I'm coming out"
"Are you coming out with Wayne?"
"Nah I got my own record label"
Man what the fuck? What the fuck?
Don't you do that, that's a no-no
That's a Young Money Cash Money no-no (don't go there)
Rule, don't go there
I don't care if a nigga gave it to you in navigation, don't go there
Understand?
Rule number two
Don't fuck with nobody's girl
And rule number three
Nobody has a girl
Holla (bitch)
Uh, rule number four is to respect rule number five
And rule number five is, bitch
You try anybody 'round here we gon' kill you
You understand?
We're not gon' fight you
We're not gon' have Reverend Al Sharpton sit us down
And talk nothing 'bout nothing, nothing (this ain't The Jeffersons)
Lord bless the dead, Pimp C gone
He ain't gon' sit us down and schedule no talks
Bitch we gon' kill you
One dot com, nigga
(Log on) log on bitch
Yeah (and stop asking to check his bags)
Yeah don't, I hate
Don't check, don't you ask to check nothing of mine
If I'm coming into your place of business
And you scheduled for me to be there
Bitch, I don't have to be there
I have a very nice home
You understand?
And I, boy, look here
Just don't be tryna check me dude
I ain't tryna steal or hurt anybody in none of them places
I'm rich as a motherfucker and that's the last thing I want is
A confrontation or a problem
I am trying to, I am, son, don't check me
(Dedication 3, bitch)

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
