Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
(Alright)
Don't save me, I'm in no need of savin' (yeah)
And if you stay with me, I know you need patience (yeah, yeah)
Blood and cologne on the fragrance (ooh, yeah)
'Cause if you deal with me, I know you know what pain is (you know about it)
So if you're gonna love me
You gotta love all of me
You gotta love deeper than that
Now, if you're gonna leave me
You better run far away
I'd hate for you to leave me a chance
'Cause I'm in love with bad luck
I'm in love with bad luck
Move too close, get caught up
Move too close, get caught up
I'm in love with bad luck
I'm in love with bad luck
Move too close, get caught up
Move too close, get caught up
I'm in love with bad luck (I'm in love)
And I don't even like to think about it
On my own, but still so crowded
Walls come down and the guards come up
But there's nowhere to run, I feel surrounded
Hurt feels better when I'm by myself
No one really means it when they're wishing you well
I got no one to call, no one
And people only love you when they needin' your wealth
Damn, layin' down, starin' at my ceiling fan
Everybody actin' like they give a damn
Where is everybody when you need a hand?
I've been burnin' rubber on the Michelin
Flyin' in the rain like I'm Superman
I could say I love it but that just depends
'Cause I'm in love with bad luck
I'm in love with bad luck
Move too close, get caught up
Move too close, get caught up
I'm in love with bad luck
I'm in love with bad luck
Move too close, get caught up
Move too close, get caught up
I'm in love with bad luck
So if you're gonna love me
You gotta love all of me (gotta love me)
You gotta love deeper than that
Now, if you're gonna leave me
Better run far away (yeah, yeah)
I'd hate for you to leave me a chance
'Cause I'm in love with bad luck
I'm in love with bad luck
Move too close, get caught up
Move too close, get caught up
I'm in love with bad luck (I'm in love)
I'm in love with bad luck (bad, bad, bad, bad, bad)
Move too close, get caught up
Move too close, get caught up (bad, bad, bad, bad)
I'm in love with bad luck
Yeah
(I'm in love with bad luck) Bad, bad luck
Don't save me, I'm in no need of savin' (yeah)

@[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.
