@[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.
Strange foreign beauty
I'll never know what's in your heart
Does anyone know how it feels to hold you
Does anyone know the secret of your mind
Strange foreign beauty
I'll never come to share your world
Does anyone know how it feels to live with you
Does anyone know the secret of your life
Strange foreign beauty
You'll never know what I felt for you
Sometimes it feels like a million chances
Are slipping away disappearing in the air
(You'll) never know what I felt for you
You were always on my mind
(I'll) never know how it feels to hold you
How it feels to be with you
I'll never know what's in your heart
Does anyone know how it feels to hold you
Does anyone know the secret of your mind
Strange foreign beauty
I'll never come to share your world
Does anyone know how it feels to live with you
Does anyone know the secret of your life
Strange foreign beauty
You'll never know what I felt for you
Sometimes it feels like a million chances
Are slipping away disappearing in the air
(You'll) never know what I felt for you
You were always on my mind
(I'll) never know how it feels to hold you
How it feels to be with you

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/
