@[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.
Is it heaven or hell at dawn?
You're really goin' up or your goin' down
Do you say your prayers late at night?
Or do you save them for the desperate times
Do you see the beauty of a rose, I doubt it
Do you hear the children sing aloud, no
Can you see the leaves change the colors out there?
Can you taste the water in your mouth?
Is it any wonder?
Is there any hope?
100 miles per hour
Yet the race just still runs slow
The race just still feels slow
Do you believe in good will forever guide?
Does your devil take you to your other side?
Can karma kill you in your mind?
Do you cleanse your soul at least once a night?
Do you see the beauty in a rose, I doubt it
Can you hear the children sing aloud?
Is it any wonder?
Is there any hope?
100 miles per hour
Yet the race just still runs slow
The race just still feels slow
We're running out of time, my friends
You're running out of time, oh yeah, oh yeah
Is there any wonder?
Is there any hope?
100 miles per hour
Yet the race just still runs slow
The race just still feels slow
The race just still runs slow
The race just still feels slow
You're really goin' up or your goin' down
Do you say your prayers late at night?
Or do you save them for the desperate times
Do you see the beauty of a rose, I doubt it
Do you hear the children sing aloud, no
Can you see the leaves change the colors out there?
Can you taste the water in your mouth?
Is it any wonder?
Is there any hope?
100 miles per hour
Yet the race just still runs slow
The race just still feels slow
Do you believe in good will forever guide?
Does your devil take you to your other side?
Can karma kill you in your mind?
Do you cleanse your soul at least once a night?
Do you see the beauty in a rose, I doubt it
Can you hear the children sing aloud?
Is it any wonder?
Is there any hope?
100 miles per hour
Yet the race just still runs slow
The race just still feels slow
We're running out of time, my friends
You're running out of time, oh yeah, oh yeah
Is there any wonder?
Is there any hope?
100 miles per hour
Yet the race just still runs slow
The race just still feels slow
The race just still runs slow
The race just still feels slow

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.
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.
