Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
I got me some cookin'
Not all that good lookin'
He's mighty sweet to me
That's how he's keepin' me
I ain't worried 'bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
I like his recipe
That's why I'm layin'
You are just like my favorite spoon
'Cause you stir me up
I'm as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me
Am I happy?
(I think so)
Don't be so emotional
(I can't help it, no)
Will he be there?
(I think so)
It's one thing that I do know
This I know
Everybody needs to feel it
Can't beg, borrow or steal it
Love is all about lovin'
When it's hot like an oven
I ain't worried 'bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
Got plenty o' time for sortin'
'Cause Mama's little baby loves her shortnin' bread
You are just like my favorite spoon
'Cause you stir me up
I'm as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me
Not all that good lookin'
He's mighty sweet to me
That's how he's keepin' me
I ain't worried 'bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
I like his recipe
That's why I'm layin'
You are just like my favorite spoon
'Cause you stir me up
I'm as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me
Am I happy?
(I think so)
Don't be so emotional
(I can't help it, no)
Will he be there?
(I think so)
It's one thing that I do know
This I know
Everybody needs to feel it
Can't beg, borrow or steal it
Love is all about lovin'
When it's hot like an oven
I ain't worried 'bout the future
The here and now is lookin' cuter
Got plenty o' time for sortin'
'Cause Mama's little baby loves her shortnin' bread
You are just like my favorite spoon
'Cause you stir me up
I'm as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me

@[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'

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/
