@[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.
Okay, here's the story about my momand dad
One was white one was black
I bet you think you're glad I'm a half breed
My skin is fair yet tan I don't know what the hell I'm on
So 1, 2
1, 2, 3 slam!
Kinky hair when I wake up
straight when i go to bed
my dad speaks jive talk to me
don't know what he just said
My mother she's a honkey
My dad's kentucky fried
I don't know what the hell I'm on
so 1, 2
1, 2, 3 slam!
Back at home it's black eyed peas with a pot roast on the side
it's hot dogs on friday nights the chicken's country fried
My dad says "yo boy pass the peas!"
My mom says "pass the squash
I need something to ease the pain"
So I'll go downtown and get some downers
Whoa, man, I'm a little bit slow
But I've got to get up somehow
Got no money, just a good idea
Let me tell you how I'll steal my parents credit cards
Oh yes I'll rip them off i'll go downtown to where dad works
and get myself some cocaine now I'm high
and I'm not shy, i'll get it off my chest
My mom is white, she thinks she's right
She thinks that she's the best
My dad is just a negro, he's not one to play golf
I don't know what the hell i am
So 1, 2
1, 2, 3 slam!
One was white one was black
I bet you think you're glad I'm a half breed

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This is a classic pit Anthem! Doesn't matter if you're man, woman, black, white, mixed or whatever. Everyone is equal when you're stomping to the beat.
