@[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.
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I see you on the floor baby, I want you
Baby stop where you're standing
I need to talk to you
Last night was really crazy
And I want to make it up to you
And I, I didn't realize
That I meant anything to you
But now that I know your feelings
I need to get it through to you
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I see you on the floor baby, I want you
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I want you to want me too, like I want you
I want you
I want you
Cause I want you
Tell me girl, where do we go from here
I've been thinkin' 'bout you and I see you everywhere
And I, I'd be real surprised
If I got to see you in the new morning
I swear, the feeling I get from you
Makes it so damn hard to forget about the things you do
And you, you seem to think it's cool
To walk away from me, to misunderstand me girl
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I see you on the floor baby, I want you
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I want you to want me too, like I want you
I want you,
And I want you,
Cause I want you
Let me dance with you baby
Want you be my lady
Let me dance with you baby
Want you be my lady
Let me dance with you baby
Want you be my lady
Let me dance with you baby
Want you be the lady
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I see you on the floor baby, I want you
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I want you to want me too, like I want you
I want you
I want you
Cause I want you
I see you on the floor baby, I want you
Baby stop where you're standing
I need to talk to you
Last night was really crazy
And I want to make it up to you
And I, I didn't realize
That I meant anything to you
But now that I know your feelings
I need to get it through to you
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I see you on the floor baby, I want you
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I want you to want me too, like I want you
I want you
I want you
Cause I want you
Tell me girl, where do we go from here
I've been thinkin' 'bout you and I see you everywhere
And I, I'd be real surprised
If I got to see you in the new morning
I swear, the feeling I get from you
Makes it so damn hard to forget about the things you do
And you, you seem to think it's cool
To walk away from me, to misunderstand me girl
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I see you on the floor baby, I want you
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I want you to want me too, like I want you
I want you,
And I want you,
Cause I want you
Let me dance with you baby
Want you be my lady
Let me dance with you baby
Want you be my lady
Let me dance with you baby
Want you be my lady
Let me dance with you baby
Want you be the lady
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I see you on the floor baby, I want you
Don't misunderstand me 'cause I want you
I want you to want me too, like I want you
I want you
I want you
Cause I want you

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
