This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Why did I wander
Here and there and yonder,
Wasting precious time
For no reason or rhyme?
Isn't it a pity!
Isn't it a crime!
My journey is ended,
Everything is splendid;
Meeting you today
Has given me a wonderful idea -
Here I stay!
It's a funny thing;
I look at you,
I get a thrill I never knew,
Isn't it a pity we never met before!
Here we are at last,
It's like a dream,
The two of us, a perfect team,
Isn't it a pity we never met before!
Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted,
You with the neighbors,
I at silly labors!
What joys untasted,
You readin' Heine,
Me somewhere in China!
Let's forget the past, let's both agree
That I'm for you and you're for me,
And it's such a pity we never, never met before!
Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted,
Fishing for salmon,
Losing at backgammon!
What joys untasted,
My nights were sour,
Spent with Schopenhauer!
Let's forget the past, let's both agree
That I'm for you and you're for me,
And it's such a pity we never, never met before!
Here and there and yonder,
Wasting precious time
For no reason or rhyme?
Isn't it a pity!
Isn't it a crime!
My journey is ended,
Everything is splendid;
Meeting you today
Has given me a wonderful idea -
Here I stay!
It's a funny thing;
I look at you,
I get a thrill I never knew,
Isn't it a pity we never met before!
Here we are at last,
It's like a dream,
The two of us, a perfect team,
Isn't it a pity we never met before!
Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted,
You with the neighbors,
I at silly labors!
What joys untasted,
You readin' Heine,
Me somewhere in China!
Let's forget the past, let's both agree
That I'm for you and you're for me,
And it's such a pity we never, never met before!
Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted,
Fishing for salmon,
Losing at backgammon!
What joys untasted,
My nights were sour,
Spent with Schopenhauer!
Let's forget the past, let's both agree
That I'm for you and you're for me,
And it's such a pity we never, never met before!

@[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/
