The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Will you love me when I'm old and ugly
Everything around us falls down
I just wanna tell you right to your face
I don't think I need that in my life tonight
So when I wake up will you still be there
Cause all my life you act like you don't care
Well it's a party on the weekend
And we be poppin' bottles for no reason
And I'm goin head first off the deep end
And I can't even tell you what I'm thinkin' tonight
Our time is gone
So I don't think we can help each other
And I don't wanna know
If you think you found another
And it's okay cause I don't care
I wish your love could be more fair
I don't wanna tell you no
I think we're heading down that road
Stumbling in I been losing my shit we do this over and over again
I know that you hate my problems
So every night I drown in my sorrows
Well this addy got me geekin'
I'm scared but I'm searching for a meanin'
See I don't even care how much that we spend
I can't even tell you what I'm thinkin' tonight
My time ain't long
So I think we should fuck each other
Get on to set it off
But I know you found another
And it's okay cause I don't care
I'm spillin' Jacky on the Moncler
I don't wanna fall in love
But I don't think I've had enough
Molly make me open up
I spill my cup
I'm not enough for you at all
Tell me why it hurts so much
To open up
I'm out of luck
Cause you never call
Well it's a party on the weekend
And we be poppin' bottles for no reason
And I'm goin head first off the deep end
And I can't even tell you what I'm thinkin' tonight
Our time is gone
So I don't think we can help each other
And I don't wanna know
If you think you found another
Everything around us falls down
I just wanna tell you right to your face
I don't think I need that in my life tonight
So when I wake up will you still be there
Cause all my life you act like you don't care
Well it's a party on the weekend
And we be poppin' bottles for no reason
And I'm goin head first off the deep end
And I can't even tell you what I'm thinkin' tonight
Our time is gone
So I don't think we can help each other
And I don't wanna know
If you think you found another
And it's okay cause I don't care
I wish your love could be more fair
I don't wanna tell you no
I think we're heading down that road
Stumbling in I been losing my shit we do this over and over again
I know that you hate my problems
So every night I drown in my sorrows

Holiday

@[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/

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.
