The song "Fortnight" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word "fortnight" shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Cat-o-nine-tails
Cat-o-nine lives
Little pussy purrs, hold her tight and she's yours
Think I'm allergic and I don't know why
Think I'm allergic and it makes me cry
You're scratchin' me baby
Right down to my heart
Now claw the couch now that we're apart
Think I'm allergic and I don't know why
Think I'm allergic and it makes me cry
I love you baby
And i don't mean to hound
But they're chasin' my heart
Now that you're not around
Think I'm allergic and I don't know why
Think I'm allergic and it makes me cry
Cat-o-nine tails
Cat-o-nine lives
Little pussy purrs, hold her tight and she's yours
Think I'm allergic and I don't know why
Think I'm allergic and it makes me cry
You're scratchin' me baby
Right down to my heart
Now claw the couch now that we're apart
Think I'm allergic and I don't know why
Think I'm allergic and it makes me cry
I love you baby
And i don't mean to hound
But they're chasin' my heart
Now that you're not around
Think I'm allergic and I don't know why
Think I'm allergic and it makes me cry
Cat-o-nine tails

@[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

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/
