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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Personally I think it's about how people try too hard to impress others and in extreme cases they even pretend to be someone they're not.
By saying "I can't speak German but I can if you like" and then going on to make up "German" words, she's showing the extremes that people will go to and it's obviously had the desired effect as some people have pointed out that she is using a French accent and that her words are wrong which is what I think she was trying to achieve. She wanted you to notice, because when people try to be someone they're not, others notice and it can end up in embarrassment.
Also, she says "I wish I could be strong without the Scheiße yeah", (Scheiße meaning shit), so she's saying that she wishes she could strong with out the shit, without having to lie to people and pretend that she is a strong person. She's wishing that she could just be strong on her own.
I think the meaning of this song is confirmed in the lines "I’ll take you out tonight, say whatever you like/Put on a show tonight, do whatever you like" as once again she is taking on the persona of someone wanting to impress another by "doing whatever they like". By then going on to sing about female empowerment, I believe she is taking on another persona to say to the women who try to be someone they're not that they shouldn't and that they can be strong without the "Scheiße".
This is just a personal opinion though, I don't know if anyone else has already said pretty much exactly what I have but never mind :-)
