In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
From the moment she laid her eyes on me
I knew how dangerous she could be
Lips like a knife that cut through me
She takes advantage 'cause she knows I'm weak
Come on, she says she knows you want
Come on, come on but then she owns you
And I hate how somehow I always give in
To those lips that can paralyze
Though I know that she is the devil
She's so beautiful, so evil
I can't fight that she controls me
Should have known she'd be so deadly
To touch, to take, to want to need
This desire is torture that I bleed
Come on, she says she knows you want
Come on, come on but then she owns you
And I hate how somehow I always give in
To those lips that can paralyze
Though I know that she is the devil
She's so beautiful, so evil
She's so evil
From Heaven to Hell and everything between
The most evil angel that you've ever seen
Biting her lips she knows it kills me
Skin like a drug but more addicting
And I hate how somehow I always give in
To those lips that can paralyze
Though I know that she is the devil
She's so beautiful, so evil
She's so evil
She's so beautiful, so evil
I knew how dangerous she could be
Lips like a knife that cut through me
She takes advantage 'cause she knows I'm weak
Come on, she says she knows you want
Come on, come on but then she owns you
And I hate how somehow I always give in
To those lips that can paralyze
Though I know that she is the devil
She's so beautiful, so evil
I can't fight that she controls me
Should have known she'd be so deadly
To touch, to take, to want to need
This desire is torture that I bleed
Come on, she says she knows you want
Come on, come on but then she owns you
And I hate how somehow I always give in
To those lips that can paralyze
Though I know that she is the devil
She's so beautiful, so evil
She's so evil
From Heaven to Hell and everything between
The most evil angel that you've ever seen
Biting her lips she knows it kills me
Skin like a drug but more addicting
And I hate how somehow I always give in
To those lips that can paralyze
Though I know that she is the devil
She's so beautiful, so evil
She's so evil
She's so beautiful, so evil

@[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.
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/
