@[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.
If the wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right
'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight
Why don't you mind your own business?
(Mind your own business)
'Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine
Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring
Why don't you mind your own business?
(Mind your own business)
Well, if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine
I got a little gal that wears her hair up high
The boys all whistle when she walks by
Why don't you mind your own business?
(Mind your own business)
Well, if you mind your own business, you sure won't be minding mine
If I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three
Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me
Just mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
If you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine
Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned
I got all that I can do just to mind my own
Why don't you mind your own business?
(Mind your own business)
If you mind your own business, you'll stay busy all the time
'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight
Why don't you mind your own business?
(Mind your own business)
'Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine
Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring
Why don't you mind your own business?
(Mind your own business)
Well, if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine
I got a little gal that wears her hair up high
The boys all whistle when she walks by
Why don't you mind your own business?
(Mind your own business)
Well, if you mind your own business, you sure won't be minding mine
If I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three
Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me
Just mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
If you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine
Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned
I got all that I can do just to mind my own
Why don't you mind your own business?
(Mind your own business)
If you mind your own business, you'll stay busy all the time

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/
