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”
Baby it's alright alright
Baby it's alright alright
Ohhhh
y'all don't hear me
Ol Skool sang
Say ya want a real man lady
Who can hit the nana baby
Girl I can turn you on
Until the break of dawn
Cut the game let's go places
Me and you having relations
Girl I can give ya what ya need
If you trust in me me me me
Chorus:
I can be your only if you want me baby
I'll set you free
In that midnight hour in the shower, baby
Just you and me
Hold on baby, let's go
Feel my nature rising so slow
Girl it's your fantasy
And I aim to please
Kinky things, motion lotion
Hot wax is more than a notion
I'll try not to come too fast
I'm gonna make it last
Repeat Chorus 6Xs
Baby it's alright alright
Ohhhh
y'all don't hear me
Ol Skool sang
Say ya want a real man lady
Who can hit the nana baby
Girl I can turn you on
Until the break of dawn
Cut the game let's go places
Me and you having relations
Girl I can give ya what ya need
If you trust in me me me me
Chorus:
I can be your only if you want me baby
I'll set you free
In that midnight hour in the shower, baby
Just you and me
Hold on baby, let's go
Feel my nature rising so slow
Girl it's your fantasy
And I aim to please
Kinky things, motion lotion
Hot wax is more than a notion
I'll try not to come too fast
I'm gonna make it last
Repeat Chorus 6Xs

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,
