@[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.
Oh, wake up in the morning
Brush my teeth and comb my hair
Well, wake up in the morning
Brush my teeth and comb my hair
Well, there's a big black Cadillac parked in the street over there
Well, it's the finest lookin' car that ever rolled off the line
Any other car, you'd just be wastin' your time
Well, one fine day I'm gonna make a Cadillac mine
I gotta get a Cadillac
Look at that Cadillac, look at that
Look at that Cadillac, look at that
Rollin' down the avenue
I'm gonna get me a Cadillac, too, if it's the last thing I do
Well, I got a job down at the liquor store
Well, I got a job down at the liquor store
Whoa, I ain't lazy but I don't wanna work no more
When I get my pay-check put it rihgt in the bank
I'm puttin' all my money straight right in the bank
Well, I'm a half way to gettin' my big black Cadillac tank!
I gotta get a Cadillac
Look at that Cadillac, look at that
Look at that Cadillac, look at that
Rollin' down the avenue
I'm gonna get me a Cadillac, too, if it's the last thing I do
Whoa, sittin' in a bar knockin''em back, up pulls a big black Cadillac
Out steps a kitten, stand back cats, 'way I go in that Cadillac!
Look at that
Look at that Cadillac, look at that
Look at that Cadillac, look at that
Rollin' down the avenue
I'm gonna get me a Cadillac, too, if it's the last thing I do
I gotta get a Cadillac
Look at that Cadillac, look at that
Look at that Cadillac, look at that
Rockin''n Rollin' down the avenue
I'm gonna get me a Cadillac, too, if it's the last thing I do
Brush my teeth and comb my hair
Well, wake up in the morning
Brush my teeth and comb my hair
Well, there's a big black Cadillac parked in the street over there
Well, it's the finest lookin' car that ever rolled off the line
Any other car, you'd just be wastin' your time
Well, one fine day I'm gonna make a Cadillac mine
I gotta get a Cadillac
Look at that Cadillac, look at that
Look at that Cadillac, look at that
Rollin' down the avenue
I'm gonna get me a Cadillac, too, if it's the last thing I do

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
