@[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.
Day times run away
Nighttime's seem so long
I'm alright in the sunshine
But the evenings let me down
It sure is good to see you now
I'm really glad you came
And I would tell you what I need
But it never feels the same
So come down easy
Let it come down slow
I've been alone so long that I just don't know what to do
And I don't want to lose you
How my life slips away
How the time goes by
And I know I belong here
Yes, I know, though I don't know why
Riding along with a friend of mine
Got enough space, got enough time
Pieces of fruit and glasses of wine
And love comes in in the summertime
And I don't want to lose you
God bless the children
God bless us all
We are the children of Paradise
On our own now since the fall
All the things that are worth having
Are never ours to keep
Still I can see today could be
A good time for you and me
If you come down easy
Nighttime's seem so long
I'm alright in the sunshine
But the evenings let me down
It sure is good to see you now
I'm really glad you came
And I would tell you what I need
But it never feels the same
So come down easy
Let it come down slow
I've been alone so long that I just don't know what to do
And I don't want to lose you
How my life slips away
How the time goes by
And I know I belong here
Yes, I know, though I don't know why
Riding along with a friend of mine
Got enough space, got enough time
Pieces of fruit and glasses of wine
And love comes in in the summertime
And I don't want to lose you
God bless the children
God bless us all
We are the children of Paradise
On our own now since the fall
All the things that are worth having
Are never ours to keep
Still I can see today could be
A good time for you and me
If you come down easy

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/
