This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm just a country boy and I like to do what's right
And just like any other boy I like to hold 'em tight
Sometimes I got resistance, but no matter how I try
When a cute little gal just looks at me with a gleam in her eye
And I say "Baby, you better not do that", and she say "Oh, why?"
And I say "Because you just better not do that"
When I went to the country school I always had a girl
They'd laugh and giggle awful cute and put me in a whirl
And everyday at recess time they followed me outside
I'd scratch my head and wonder are they ever satisfied
I'd say "Baby, you better not do that" and she'd say "Why?"
And I'd say "Because you just better not do that"
I got a little older, and I went to the country dance
I went to have a little fun, I wasn't thinkin' about romance
But the dim lights just lured 'em on and they'd snuggle up to me
I knew I couldn't last too long, 'cos I'm human you see
And I'd say "Baby, you better not do that", and she'd say "Oh, why?"
And I'd say "Because you just better not do that", and she'd say "Oh, why?"
And just like any other boy I like to hold 'em tight
Sometimes I got resistance, but no matter how I try
When a cute little gal just looks at me with a gleam in her eye
And I say "Baby, you better not do that", and she say "Oh, why?"
And I say "Because you just better not do that"
When I went to the country school I always had a girl
They'd laugh and giggle awful cute and put me in a whirl
And everyday at recess time they followed me outside
I'd scratch my head and wonder are they ever satisfied
I'd say "Baby, you better not do that" and she'd say "Why?"
And I'd say "Because you just better not do that"
I got a little older, and I went to the country dance
I went to have a little fun, I wasn't thinkin' about romance
But the dim lights just lured 'em on and they'd snuggle up to me
I knew I couldn't last too long, 'cos I'm human you see
And I'd say "Baby, you better not do that", and she'd say "Oh, why?"
And I'd say "Because you just better not do that", and she'd say "Oh, why?"

@[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/
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
