@[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.
Well, look at me
Got me in her sights
Is this a blessing in disguise?
Fatality on a Saturday night
Right between the eyes
Well, honey I know you never satisfied
Just a paradise on a roll
c'mon and take the fat chance
This ain't suicide
Sit back and let it all unfold
You better
Shoot it, Shoot it
c'mon baby put your best shot on me
Shoot it, Shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
Shoot it, Shoot it
Beggers can't be choosers in a den of thieves
Is it good for you, 'cause it's good for me!
How's your love life, how's your sister
Ooh, I can't resist
Is this the one that gets away?
Well, lemme tell ya my friend
That it's all how much you spend, baby
Not how much you make
You say you don't want to dance
Honey listen to me
Shut yo' mouth an' hit the floor
And you can tell 'em last night
That you was blind to see
And blame it all on rock'n'roll
You Better
Shoot it, Shoot it
c'mon baby put your best shot on me
Shoot it, Shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
Talkin' about me, baby
Shoot it, Shoot it
Beggers can't be choosers in a den of thieves
Is it good for you, it's good for me!
Wow!
Whoo! Dressed to the nines
Don't cry wolf too many times, baby
But you can trust in me
Want some good clean fun?
Well, I heard you play with guns
An' I see you got a vacancy!
You say you don't want to dance
Honey listen to me
Shut yo' mouth an' hit the floor
And you can tell 'em last night
That you was blind to see
And blame it all on rock'n'roll
Ow!
Shoot it, Shoot it
c'mon baby put your best shot on me
I'm just a movin' target, mama
Shoot it, Shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
Shoot it, Shoot it
Beggers can't be choosers in a den of thieves
Is it good for you, 'cause it's great for me!
You pull yo gun, you better
Shoot it, Shoot it
c'mon baby put your best shot on me
Set 'em up, Shoot 'em down
Shoot it, Shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
A friend in need, I love ya honey!
Shoot it, Shoot it
Beggers can't be choosers in a den of thieves

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/
