Give You My Lovin' Lyrics
I'll be your honey if you'll be sweet
I know I'm the only one for you
I know that you think this is not true
I'll be out there in a little while
'Cause you see, rain reminds me of you
And everything has turned to you
You'll be upstairs and I'll be there too
Everywhere you go, I will follow
I know it won't be the same tomorrow
They say you'll hurt me, I don't think that's true
Discomfort arouses when I speak of you
As if you've been sayin' something bad about me
But I know that ain't right so I ask if I can hold you
Oh babe, I need you so bad
Oh babe, I only want to make you glad
the slide guitar also recalls dylan's "without you" as recorded by george harrison

This song's not a sweet little love ditty. She's quite clearly telling the tale of abuse at the hands of a narcissist. "As if you've been saying something bad, about me" is a classic tactic employed by an abuser to isolate their victim. And that's only one clue. There are more. Listen.
This song requires very little interpretation. But it does deserve comment. It is a very beautiful song. The word "glad" alone makes it. What is a bit unbelievable about it is that Hope Sandoval could ever find herself in this position. I mean, have you seen her picture? I am incredulous. More likely, this is a song that someone sang to her.
@octave This is a song from when Hope sang with Sylvia Gomez before Mazzy Star, the duo being called "Going Home" - search YT. It was written by Sylvia. They supported Opal (which became Mazzy Star after Hope replaced Kendra Smith) in 1985.

However, and just a slight feeling, it could reflect Hope's initial attraction to Dave Robeck? Great song anyway!

Almost sounds like a response to JAMC's <i>About You</i>.
