@[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.
Put me in the cab it's raining outside
Had it up to here this is the last time
You kissed me on my throat in broad daylight
And we were like two kittens in a play fight
It didn't last a week I could have told you so
You were too much for me and I didn't let you know
So now you loathe me gone to the dark side
And I'm in somebody's arms to get you off my mind
Cheap kicks are alright, yeah
If you don't know what's good for you tonight
Cheap kicks are alright
If you don't know what's good
A million hearts are broken every hour
It'll be OK, don't let the milk turn sour
Now there'll be no more going through the motions
And there'll be no more drowning in sweet potions
It didn't last a week I could have told you so
You were too much for me and I didn't let things grow
So now you loathe me you've gone to the dark side
And I'm in somebody's arms to get you off my mind
Cheap kicks are alright
If you don't know what's good for you tonight
Cheap kicks are alright
If you don't know what's good
Cheap kicks are alright
'Cause you don't know what's good for you sometimes
Cheap kicks are alright
If you don't know what's good
Cheap kicks are alright

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/

Agreed with gemsmimipatrol -- She's saying it's okay to try out a relationship, even though it may hurt the person in the song. You never know, right?
