@[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.
Misread signals
Between the wrinkles
And lines drawn in the sand
Exits glowing
Coming or going?
Shrinking or still growing?
Prepare pillow
Fall out the window
We'll draw a crowd below
'Fore we go
I'm your architect
Harbour and neglect
Contracted to perfect
And protect
Are you a weight in the hollow?
Are you a mirage in the haze?
Did we bring into being the notes and the dates in the calendar?
What a decision we made
The war we met
Bohemian protest
Computed and upset
Silver moonlight
Throw down your hairline
From the pillow we climb
For our crimes
Easy frustrate
By way of decoration
Demon be cremated
This day
What a civilised
Way to be despised
My love we have arrived
We've arrived
Are you a weight in the hollow?
Are you a mirage in the haze?
Did we bring into being the notes and the dates in the calendar?
What a decision we made
Out in the open, forever waiting to dry
Between the wrinkles
And lines drawn in the sand
Exits glowing
Coming or going?
Shrinking or still growing?
Prepare pillow
Fall out the window
We'll draw a crowd below
'Fore we go
I'm your architect
Harbour and neglect
Contracted to perfect
And protect
Are you a weight in the hollow?
Are you a mirage in the haze?
Did we bring into being the notes and the dates in the calendar?
What a decision we made
The war we met
Bohemian protest
Computed and upset
Silver moonlight
Throw down your hairline
From the pillow we climb
For our crimes
Easy frustrate
By way of decoration
Demon be cremated
This day
What a civilised
Way to be despised
My love we have arrived
We've arrived
Are you a weight in the hollow?
Are you a mirage in the haze?
Did we bring into being the notes and the dates in the calendar?
What a decision we made
Out in the open, forever waiting to dry

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/
