The cost of lovings on the line again
Honey, that just won't do
As we turn another blind eye
Oh, they steal it from you
But the feelings coming back
Guess it always will
No matter how hurt you've been
Cost of lovings on the line
Honey that just won't do
Might take a little bit of time
Oh, but I've faith in me and you
The black market on the side
Oh, we take more than we need
And take it in our stride
Starving those who we feed
When the feeling starts again
Then we'll do more right than wrong
Waiting for a brighter day
Has always been too long
The cost of lovings on the line
Honey that just won't do
Honey, that just won't do
As we turn another blind eye
Oh, they steal it from you
But the feelings coming back
Guess it always will
No matter how hurt you've been
Cost of lovings on the line
Honey that just won't do
Might take a little bit of time
Oh, but I've faith in me and you
The black market on the side
Oh, we take more than we need
And take it in our stride
Starving those who we feed
When the feeling starts again
Then we'll do more right than wrong
Waiting for a brighter day
Has always been too long
The cost of lovings on the line
Honey that just won't 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,
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.
