@[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.
I could
Write you any song you wanna sing
So, tell me what's it gonna be
You want a sad song or a hymn
For when you let your phone ring
And ring and ring?
I could
Tell you everything you need to say
So you can leave with some grace
Before the kids know that the heart breaks
Everybody takes, takes, takes
Maybe I'm the lucky one
To leave you breathless in Kentexas
Feels like maybe I'm the crazy one
Or just a bad, just a bad husband
I could
Take the redeye right to AUS
Should I stay the hotel
Until it gets late? Take your time, babe
You know I'm gonna wait, wait
And wait and wait
I could
Meet you anywhere that you want me
Dark glasses, ponytail
So they don't know you, things that we do
Make a nervous heart beat
And beat and beat
Maybe I'm the lucky one
To leave you breathless in Kentexas
Feels like maybe I'm the crazy one
Or just a bad, just a bad husband
Oh...
You could
Keep me so close and never see me
Push me so far away but never free me
Keep the receipt
So that you can write me off
Maybe I'm the lucky one
To leave you breathless in Kentexas
Feels like maybe I'm the crazy one
Or just a bad, just a bad husband
Maybe I'm the lucky one
To leave you breathless in Kentexas
Feels like maybe I'm the crazy one
Or just a bad, just a bad husband
Oh..
Write you any song you wanna sing

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,
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/
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.

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.
