This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I could shame you 'til you hide your face
And drag you right down in disgrace
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
I could tell the world you're doin' wrong
That I was stringin' you along
And if it all were true
I know I'd still want you
This world with me might sympathize
When I got through with all my lies
But I'd be just as blue
'Cause my heart would still want you
Cry, oh, Lord
I could tell my friends I threw you down
And slander your name all over town
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
If I said I'm happy to be free
The only one I'd fool is me
Because it isn't true
I know I'd still want you
What's the use to say that you're no good
When I'd crawl back if I could
No matter what you do
I know I'd still want you
Cry, oh, Lord
I could smile and say that I don't care
And then go home and pull my hair
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
I could say that someone put me wise
And get revenge by telling lies
But when I got all through
I know I'd still want you
If the things I said was to break your heart
I'd be the first to take your part
'Cause if all these lies were true
I know I'd still want you
Cry, oh, Lord
And drag you right down in disgrace
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
I could tell the world you're doin' wrong
That I was stringin' you along
And if it all were true
I know I'd still want you
This world with me might sympathize
When I got through with all my lies
But I'd be just as blue
'Cause my heart would still want you
Cry, oh, Lord
I could tell my friends I threw you down
And slander your name all over town
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
If I said I'm happy to be free
The only one I'd fool is me
Because it isn't true
I know I'd still want you
What's the use to say that you're no good
When I'd crawl back if I could
No matter what you do
I know I'd still want you
Cry, oh, Lord
I could smile and say that I don't care
And then go home and pull my hair
But what good would it do
I know I'd still want you
I could say that someone put me wise
And get revenge by telling lies
But when I got all through
I know I'd still want you
If the things I said was to break your heart
I'd be the first to take your part
'Cause if all these lies were true
I know I'd still want you
Cry, oh, Lord

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'

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
