In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The way she sees me
She's always leads me
Thru the night
She's out to tease me
With a glance
I take a chance
From the start
I'm in a trance
It's time you're mine
She's just taken you for a ride
You're alone
Out on your own
And then you know
Know she lied
Chorus 1:
Some other deal
Some other way
I hate to say
Don't you know
Love's a bitch
Some other deal
Some other way
All I can say
Don't you know
Love's a bitch
(Love's a bitch)
The road to a mountain
Seems so long the farther you get
You sing the same old song, yeah
As I get higher
I feel the fire
Oh you're my one desire
In time you're fine
And she's just taken you for a ride
You're alone
Out on your own
And then you know
Know she lied, yeah
Chorus 1
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Chorus 2:
Some other deal
Some other way
All I can say
Don't you know
Love's a bitch
Some other deal
Some other way
All I can say
Don't you know
Love's a bitch
Don't you know
Love's a bitch
Put out the booze
Cause you can't lose
I hate to break ya
Of all the bad news
Now here's the thing
To keep you straight
You gotta get up
But you know it's too late
It's time you're mine
She's just taken you for a ride
You're alone
Out on your own
And then you know
Know she lied
Chorus 2
Some other deal
Some other way
I hate to say
Don't you know
Love's a bitch
Some other deal
Some other way
I hate to say
But don't you know
Love's a bitch
Well don't you know
Love's a bitch

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'
Dusty Springfield
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/

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
