@[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.
Beware
Beware
Beware
Seems like love should be easier to bear
But it's such a heavy load (A heavy load)
Worldwide traveler, you ain't been nowhere
Till you've traveled down love's road
I know I may be just a stranger (Just a stranger)
Lover, let me warn you there's the danger
Of the fork in love's road
Beware
The danger is there
Ho, ho, ho (Danger)
One way is for those who go along
That way tempts a girl like me
Oh, but lovers don't try to make it on your own (Don't try it, don't try it, don't try it)
You don't want the misery
Oh, oh, why didn't I see the sign
Ooh, ooh, before I left my love behind
At the fork in love's road
Beware
The danger is there
Ho, ho, ho
If there is some thing that you don't see eye to eye (Eye to eye)
You better think before you tell your love goodbye (Goodbye)
‘Cause your path may never cross again
You make sure you take the same bend
At the fork in love's road, baby
Beware
The danger is there
Watch the fork in the road
You better beware
(The fork in the road)
Beware (Beware)
The danger's there (Beware)
Woo, hoo, hoo (Beware)
(The fork in the road)
The fork in love's road (Beware)
You better beware (Beware)

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/
