So naive, it helps me to breathe
Your smile I keep on file
You tickle me pink
I love the way you think
So when I'm feeling low I know
Little man, little man
I'm by far your greatest fan

Little man I'm endlessly proud of you
In such a short time span
You've filled my heart with joy
As I grow older, you grow wiser
Watching my mistakes
Memorize where I've gone wrong

If they fall away
I'll stay with you
But do as I say and not as I do
Trust me, you'll see
All I want is what is best for you

Little man your head is full of dreams
If only I could spend one day
Touring your imagination
Now if I live longer, you'll grow faster
At recognizing the traps that cause me such frustration

If they fall away
I'll stay with you
But do as I say, not as I do
Trust me, you'll see
All I want is what is best for you

If they fall away
I'll stay with you
But do as I say, not as I do
Trust me, you'll see
All I want is what is best for you

So naive, it helps me to breathe
Your smile I keep on file
You tickle me pink
I love the way you think
So when I'm feeling low I know
Little man, little man
I'm by far your greatest fan

Ah, vampires are known to sneak around
Don't laugh, please, I actually want to be a vampire when I grow up
She laughed
Ah, vampires are known to sneak around

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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/
