@[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.
40 40 dollars to the man that wanna go
20 20 to the sister with the ticket
At the grocery store
I wish someone would get mine
If you got an extra dollar
Can you lend it to a man who's poor
I've been up but I ain't down
I've been lost but now I'm found
I've been defeated for sure and now I got a chance
And the City better let me go
I can't wait to get a ride to to California
Cause it makes sense to go to California
If Hollywood is where it's at let go to California
Cause it makes to sense to go California
Can I give up (no) let's just (go)
LA (whoa) got no money sure
If you was me see you would do the same thing you know
So leave your bags at your mama's door
Going going going to the man in the back
Cut the line if you feel me
Let me hear you say it one more time
I've set mind to break free
Now my body is getting loose
While I'll sinking like a dancing tree
I've been up but I ain't down
I've been lost but now I'm found
I need to leave this for sure
If you got another seat on the bus
Would you let me go
I can't wait to get a ride to to California
Cause it makes sense to go to California
If Hollywood is where it's at let go to California
Cause it makes to sense to go California
Can I give up (no) let's just (go)
LA (whoa) got no money sure
If you was me see you would do the same thing you know
So leave your bags at your mama's door
I really gotta catch that ride
I need to find a place in line
I'm picking up an LA vibe
I really wanna go this time
I really gotta catch that ride
I need to find a place in line
I'm picking up an LA vibe

LA (whoa) got no money sure
If you was me see you would do the same thing you know
So leave your bags at your mama's door
Interstate freeway green light go
You can even get a plane or a train if the traffic's slow
I bet you won't beat me
I've been waiting for a mighty long time
So you best believe
I've been up but I ain't down
I've been lost but now I'm found
I need a ticket for sure
If you got another seat on the plane
Would you let me go

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
