This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
[Verse 1: Aminé]
Said she want ring and a white picket fence
Suburbia for her nervia
I couldn't live that life
So thats why I'm here with you tonight
I-I don't know if you're interested
But I do know that you can have my kids
Excuse me if I'm a little too forward
I'm just wanna hit it from the backward
Ain't this awkward
I can't believe I said that
Oh my ain't she a bad gal
Oh gal how you do that
[Hook: Aminé and Emily Libera]
Get down get down
Get down down down
Get down get down
Down down
Baby I don't want to love
I just want to live in the moment
Baby I don't want to love
I just want to find someone
And get down
Have fun get down
Have fun get down
Have fun
We can get it on til' the mornin'
Get down have fun

We can get it on til' the mornin'
[Verse 2: Aminé]
Hibbie jibbies
I didn't know you was freaky deaky
I just thought you was goodie goodie
Now you got me like
I don't want none of them girls
I'm an N.E.R.D. Girl that's Pharrell
When it comes to ya booty that mass appeal
Even Rita couldn't fuck with your Ora
Curves like the hills
So I call you Mrs. Lauren
You so damn pretty girl
Plus you're so-so minimal
Say you wanna have some fun
So lets get physical
[Hook: Aminé and Emily Libera]
[Verse: Aminé and Emily Libera]
Do you wanna love anymore?
No,no, no
Do you wanna fuck anymore?
Baby we can get it on til' the mornin'
What about love?
What about trust?
What about us?
What about lust?
And I'm starin' at your eyes like
I'm tryna' get this figured out
And it ain't hard to figure out boy
I got you all figured out
I gotta catch a plane
A jet, a cab I gotta go
Anywhere you want babe
As long as I can go
[Outro: Aminé and Emily Libera]

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/
