All the colours in the rainbow don't compare
With one look in your impossible eyes
And I walked into the trap
With my eyes wide shut
But I never knew what it would be like

All the plans were made in the wooded glade
Where your body was split wide open
And I count to ten as the race begins
Round your hairpin bends

Sometimes I feel I'll float away
Sometimes I feel I'll float away
Sometimes I feel I'll float away
Without you to hold me

I can't count the times I forgot my lines
And you pretended that you didn't know
Let me take you through each
Stage of the male mistake
And we'll adopt our natural roles

And I need you more
Than you need to be needed
So I sign my will one stab at a time
And I count to ten as the race begins
Round your hairpin bends

Sometimes I feel I'll float away
Sometimes I feel I'll float away
Sometimes I feel I'll float away
Without you to hold me

Sometimes I feel I'll float away
Sometimes I feel I'll float away
Sometimes I feel I'll float away
Without you to hold me

Away, away, away, away

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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/
