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”
I've been burin' the blues with a capital be
Surfin' in hell for a brand new me
Got a bone to pick with my skeleton crew
Cashin' in my IOUs
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
I'm dancin' wit my devils
Blind side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I
I've been workin' the street in the same old suit
And there's a hole in my soul that's showin' right through
No more walkin' the walk or talkin' that fast talk
'Cause I'm out of my skin and takin' my clothes off
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
I'm dancin' with my devils
Blind side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I
I'm dancin' with my devils
Doin' the Spanish fly
I'm dancin' with my devils
Hotter than July
I want to do what I wanna do
I have to be who I want to be
Hey you just gotta get over it
It's good be the king
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
When all is said and done
If you can't beat 'em join 'em and then some
Surfin' in hell for a brand new me
Got a bone to pick with my skeleton crew
Cashin' in my IOUs
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
I'm dancin' wit my devils
Blind side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I
I've been workin' the street in the same old suit
And there's a hole in my soul that's showin' right through
No more walkin' the walk or talkin' that fast talk
'Cause I'm out of my skin and takin' my clothes off
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
I'm dancin' with my devils
Blind side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I
I'm dancin' with my devils
Doin' the Spanish fly
I'm dancin' with my devils
Hotter than July
I want to do what I wanna do
I have to be who I want to be
Hey you just gotta get over it
It's good be the king
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
When all is said and done
If you can't beat 'em join 'em and then some

@[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/
