@[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.
It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee
This maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me
She was a child and I was a child
In this kingdom by the sea
But we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabel Lee
With a love that the winged angels of Heaven
They coveted her and me
And the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
And the sun never shines, but I see the bright eyes
I lie down by the side
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven
Went envying her and me
That was the reason, as all men know
In this kingdom by the sea
That the wind came out of the clouds that night
Killing my, my Annabel Lee
And the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
And the sun never shines, but I see the bright eyes
I lie down by the side
But our love was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we
Many far wiser than we
Neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
And the sun never shines, but I see the bright eyes
I lie down by the side
Ohhh ohh
I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my life, my life and my bride
I lie down, by her side
I lie down, by her side
My darling, my life, my life and my bride
I lie down, by her side
I lie down, by her side oohh
I lie down, by the side oohh
I lie down, by the side
Of my darling, my life, my life and my bride
I lie down, ohhhh
I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my life, my life and my bride
I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my life, my life and my bride
I lie down oooooh
I lie down lie down
By the side
In a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee
This maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me
She was a child and I was a child
In this kingdom by the sea
But we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabel Lee

And the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
This song is an adaptation of the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allen Poe.
