@[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.
What kind of fool do you think I am
You think you can go and see [...unclear]
Darling after we made our plans
You said I'd be your number one man
What kind of fool (Do you think I am?)
Do you think I am now (Do you think I am?)
What kind of fool did you think I'd be
You said you really really loved me
Darling you run around all over town
You build me up then you let me down
What kind of fool (Do you think I am?)
Do you think I am now? (Do you think I am?)
I ain't gonna be your second choice
I've got to be your number one
Or I ain't gonna love you at all
Darling you run around all over town
You build me up then you let me down
What kind of fool (Do you think I am?)
Do you think I am now (Do you think I am?)
(Do you) Think I am?
Darling you can't think that
Darling I'm no fool
What kind of foo-oo-ool
You think you can go and see [...unclear]
Darling after we made our plans
You said I'd be your number one man
What kind of fool (Do you think I am?)
Do you think I am now (Do you think I am?)
What kind of fool did you think I'd be
You said you really really loved me
Darling you run around all over town
You build me up then you let me down
What kind of fool (Do you think I am?)
Do you think I am now? (Do you think I am?)
I ain't gonna be your second choice
I've got to be your number one
Or I ain't gonna love you at all
Darling you run around all over town
You build me up then you let me down
What kind of fool (Do you think I am?)
Do you think I am now (Do you think I am?)
(Do you) Think I am?
Darling you can't think that
Darling I'm no fool
What kind of foo-oo-ool

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/
