This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Well I took my lady to dinner
Not knowing what would happen to me
I asked her, "Baby, baby, what you want?"
And she looked up and said to me
"I want 15 pounds of ribs
deep fried with some burgers on the side"
For desert, she want some ice cream
Number 5 to 69!
My baby's fat
She's ugly
She's fat and she's ugly
but I love her
I love her
Oh yes oh yes I do
Oh man, she's so fat and ugly
Let me tell you all about it
I took my lady to dinner
and came back a poor poor man
She took me right to the cleaners
even stole my frying pan
All I wanted was a little romance
a little hoochie coo on the side
Instead her booty grow
three times its original size!
My baby's fat
She's ugly
She's fat and she's ugly
but I love her
I love her
Oh yes oh yes I do
Oh man
she's so fat and ugly
God dammit
My baby's fat
she's ugly
I really really love her
Yeah she's fat
she's ugly
I really really love her
Yes she's fat
she's ugly
I really really love her
Yeah she's fat
she's ugly
Wooow!!!!!
Well it don't matter that her teeth are crooked
It don't matter that her teeth are buck
It don't matter that her ass is the size of New York
cause she's all mine in the back of my truck
My lady don't fit inside of no taxi
And she eats more than a grown man can buy
But when she tell me to bring open some bacon
My baby makes me break down and cry
My babies fat
She's ugly
She's fat and she's ugly
but I love her
I need her
I love her
Oh yes oh yes I do
Not knowing what would happen to me
I asked her, "Baby, baby, what you want?"
And she looked up and said to me
"I want 15 pounds of ribs
deep fried with some burgers on the side"
For desert, she want some ice cream
Number 5 to 69!
My baby's fat
She's ugly
She's fat and she's ugly
but I love her
I love her
Oh yes oh yes I do
Oh man, she's so fat and ugly
Let me tell you all about it
I took my lady to dinner
and came back a poor poor man
She took me right to the cleaners
even stole my frying pan
All I wanted was a little romance
a little hoochie coo on the side
Instead her booty grow
three times its original size!
My baby's fat
She's ugly
She's fat and she's ugly
but I love her
I love her
Oh yes oh yes I do
Oh man
she's so fat and ugly
God dammit
My baby's fat
she's ugly
I really really love her
Yeah she's fat
she's ugly
I really really love her
Yes she's fat
she's ugly
I really really love her
Yeah she's fat
she's ugly
Wooow!!!!!
Well it don't matter that her teeth are crooked
It don't matter that her teeth are buck
It don't matter that her ass is the size of New York
cause she's all mine in the back of my truck
My lady don't fit inside of no taxi
And she eats more than a grown man can buy
But when she tell me to bring open some bacon
My baby makes me break down and cry
My babies fat
She's ugly
She's fat and she's ugly
but I love her
I need her
I love her
Oh yes oh yes I do

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,
