@[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 get it going 'cause I can't get started
It doesn't matter if you can't say no
You say I'm never gonna be dishearted
You only tell me what I need to know
It doesn't matter if it left us stranded
I'll build a raft and tow us back to shore
It's not the way that anybody planned it
You know we should have thought about all this before
I'll climb up high to all the furthest branches
And gather fruit from all the tallest trees
You always said that we should take our chances
Watch the dust blow for a change of breeze
We venture out into the great uncharted
So far away from any beaten track
Enjoy it now before it's all departed
You know that once it's gone that there'll be no way back
Silver rays ricochet
And dance across the golden floor
Silver rays you can stay
And let me drift away from shore
Silver rays shadows play
And become the one that I adore
Silver rays cast away
And illuminate forever more
It doesn't matter if you can't say no
You say I'm never gonna be dishearted
You only tell me what I need to know
It doesn't matter if it left us stranded
I'll build a raft and tow us back to shore
It's not the way that anybody planned it
You know we should have thought about all this before
I'll climb up high to all the furthest branches
And gather fruit from all the tallest trees
You always said that we should take our chances
Watch the dust blow for a change of breeze
We venture out into the great uncharted
So far away from any beaten track
Enjoy it now before it's all departed
You know that once it's gone that there'll be no way back
Silver rays ricochet
And dance across the golden floor
Silver rays you can stay
And let me drift away from shore
Silver rays shadows play
And become the one that I adore
Silver rays cast away
And illuminate forever more

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/

I did these lyrics by ear so if anyone has a different opinion on them or access to official lyrics just let me know in the comments :)
Just a small alteration, I think the line is "I'll build a raft and sail us back to shore" rather than "tow us back"
