This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I remember the night you weren't at home
(had to work late is what I heard)
That's what you said
I can never forget the way it felt,
You needed some time to work it out,
That's what you said
And now I feel a fool.
Cause late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
Cause I've seen those other guys
Sniffin' around your door.
Whatever happened to the words
'Lovers for all eternity?'
That's what you said,
I was your Romeo, you were my Juliet,
Eternally
That's what you said
And now I feel a fool.
Cause late at night I hear your voice
Calling out my name,
Oh I know it's just a dream
But every night's the same.
I carried a torch for you, through the thick and thin
You know it don't seem right that I won't see you again
No no
Late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
Cause I keep seeing those other guys
Sniffin' around your door.
I carried a torch for you through the wind and rain
I'll never forget you, but I won't see you again
No no
I thought your friends all liked me
I thought I fitted in just right,
That's what you said.
Soon I'll be gone and you'll be free,
You can go find the things that you want.
That's what you said
And I won't feel a fool
Cause late at night I still call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
Cause I keep seeing those other guys
Sniffin' around your door.
What for?
(had to work late is what I heard)
That's what you said
I can never forget the way it felt,
You needed some time to work it out,
That's what you said
And now I feel a fool.
Cause late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
Cause I've seen those other guys
Sniffin' around your door.
Whatever happened to the words
'Lovers for all eternity?'
That's what you said,
I was your Romeo, you were my Juliet,
Eternally
That's what you said
And now I feel a fool.
Cause late at night I hear your voice
Calling out my name,
Oh I know it's just a dream
But every night's the same.
I carried a torch for you, through the thick and thin
You know it don't seem right that I won't see you again
No no
Late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
Cause I keep seeing those other guys
Sniffin' around your door.
I carried a torch for you through the wind and rain
I'll never forget you, but I won't see you again
No no
I thought your friends all liked me
I thought I fitted in just right,
That's what you said.
Soon I'll be gone and you'll be free,
You can go find the things that you want.
That's what you said
And I won't feel a fool
Cause late at night I still call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
Cause I keep seeing those other guys
Sniffin' around your door.
What for?

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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/
