The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Last night I dreamt
that you were here
I looked in to your eyes which were ever so clear
things were the same.. as they were before
you had to stay as I walked out your door
Trapped in my thoughts
of where you mite be
wondering if you still remeber me
and I look back down a couple years ago
but I can't explain how I ever let you go
The friend that was real.. someone who never lied
you always knew
how i felt in side..
Last night I dreamt
that you were here I looked in to ur eyes which were ever so clear
things were the same as they were before
you had to stay as i walked out ur door
The friend that was real.. someone who never lied you alwayz knew
how i felt in side..
Your lost away.. (where did you go)
Your lost away.. (where did you go)
Your lost away.. (where did you go)
Your lost away.. (where did you go)
that you were here
I looked in to your eyes which were ever so clear
things were the same.. as they were before
you had to stay as I walked out your door
Trapped in my thoughts
of where you mite be
wondering if you still remeber me
and I look back down a couple years ago
but I can't explain how I ever let you go
The friend that was real.. someone who never lied
you always knew
how i felt in side..
Last night I dreamt

Your lost away.. (where did you go)
Your lost away.. (where did you go)
Your lost away.. (where did you go)
Your lost away.. (where did you go)

Holiday

@[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
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/
