Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Remember how you used to see me
That day we met the butterflies
Let me know I wasn't dreaming
Pretending not to feel me
While you walking down my street
Playing hard to get
I know you thought I wouldn't work that hard
You didn't think I would let down my guard
Remember how you didn't believe me
When I told you that I thought you were my destiny
[Chorus]
Your love is like rain
Come a little closer let me explain
Your love is like rain
Shower your love all over me
Your love is like rain
Lovin' so good hafi' shout your name
Your love is like rain
Who else is gonna make you feel this way
I'm not tryin' to run your life
All I need is you to set me free
I know your boys think you're crazy
Cause all you wanna' do is spend your time with me
It's never too much
Drown me in your love I don't need to breathe
I'm like a flower I need you boy to come water me
[Chorus: x2]
That day we met the butterflies
Let me know I wasn't dreaming
Pretending not to feel me
While you walking down my street
Playing hard to get
I know you thought I wouldn't work that hard
You didn't think I would let down my guard
Remember how you didn't believe me
When I told you that I thought you were my destiny
[Chorus]
Your love is like rain
Come a little closer let me explain
Your love is like rain
Shower your love all over me
Your love is like rain
Lovin' so good hafi' shout your name
Your love is like rain
Who else is gonna make you feel this way
I'm not tryin' to run your life
All I need is you to set me free
I know your boys think you're crazy
Cause all you wanna' do is spend your time with me
It's never too much
Drown me in your love I don't need to breathe
I'm like a flower I need you boy to come water me
[Chorus: x2]

@[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

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/
