This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I know he's driving a fancy car
When you're with him,
you're feeling like a star
But When i'm at home alone,
I think only of you
What do ya know,
how does it grow?
So how can he buy a love that's not for sale
You two were so in love, I couldn't tell baby
When I'm at home alone, I hear your heart it spells
You gotta know,
how does it grow?
Chorus:
Who do you love?
Who do you love love?
Girl I know that you are town between
what was and what could be
I wanna know, gotta know, wanna go, gotta know
Who do you love?
(do you love..)
So let's take some time out to find our way
Cause there's so many things I need to say
Cause when the lights are down,
and love is in the air
I need to know, do you really care?
Chorus:
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Girl I know that you are torn between
what was and what could be
I wanna know, gotta know, wanna know, gotta know,
Who do you love?
(do you love..)
Girl I found I just can't leave you alone
( and nobody's gonna tell me I'm wrong )
and I promise I will make our love whole
and if you're ever in need,
put your full trust in me
and I will never leave you at home
Chorus:
Who do you love? (Tell me who, yeah)
Who do you love? (I need to know, baby)
Girl I know that you are torn between
what was and what could be
I wanna know, gotta know, wanna know, gotta know,
Who do you love?
(do you love..)
When you're with him,
you're feeling like a star
But When i'm at home alone,
I think only of you
What do ya know,
how does it grow?
So how can he buy a love that's not for sale
You two were so in love, I couldn't tell baby
When I'm at home alone, I hear your heart it spells
You gotta know,
how does it grow?
Chorus:
Who do you love?
Who do you love love?
Girl I know that you are town between
what was and what could be
I wanna know, gotta know, wanna go, gotta know
Who do you love?
(do you love..)
So let's take some time out to find our way
Cause there's so many things I need to say
Cause when the lights are down,
and love is in the air
I need to know, do you really care?
Chorus:
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Girl I know that you are torn between
what was and what could be
I wanna know, gotta know, wanna know, gotta know,
Who do you love?
(do you love..)
Girl I found I just can't leave you alone
( and nobody's gonna tell me I'm wrong )
and I promise I will make our love whole
and if you're ever in need,
put your full trust in me
and I will never leave you at home
Chorus:
Who do you love? (Tell me who, yeah)
Who do you love? (I need to know, baby)
Girl I know that you are torn between
what was and what could be
I wanna know, gotta know, wanna know, gotta know,
Who do you love?
(do you love..)

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,
