@[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.
Seven years of fighting
And still I love you so
But I feel some relief every time
You say you want to go
Tell me when you’re not around
I’ll finally feel at ease
She only loves me when I’m asleep
When I’m asleep
Memories of honeymoons
They seem to fade away
I knew that she’d regret it
When she promised me she’d stay
Love and loss it’s a lost cause
I’m indifferent at best
It’s good to get this shit off my chest
Off my chest
Oh you know you’re so obnoxious
Can't you see that we’re both toxic
Too far in, I must be honest
Love me only when I’m unconscious
She only loves me when I’m asleep
When I'm asleep
And still I love you so
But I feel some relief every time
You say you want to go
Tell me when you’re not around
I’ll finally feel at ease
She only loves me when I’m asleep
When I’m asleep
Memories of honeymoons
They seem to fade away
I knew that she’d regret it
When she promised me she’d stay
Love and loss it’s a lost cause
I’m indifferent at best
It’s good to get this shit off my chest
Off my chest
Oh you know you’re so obnoxious
Can't you see that we’re both toxic
Too far in, I must be honest
Love me only when I’m unconscious
She only loves me when I’m asleep
When I'm asleep

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
