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.
Open baby you've left me
Open now I'm shattered into a million pieces
Can't stop looking over my shoulder
Just incase you realise just how much you want this
The longer the sweeter baby don't stop
It's ok cause I'm down for you
Not gonna stop till you tell me to
I'm into you like a bad ass too
Tell me how did this happen
I've never known or what to do
Oh oh oh
I've never felt like this before
Can't say that you don't make me hot
I want to tell ma what you got babe
I've never felt like this before
I'm lovin every minute of it don't stop
You are all I ever want
Empty standing where you've left me
Cold boy now I'm frozen by a kiss from your lips
Your heart tells me that you're open
Melted by the answers I've been waiting to hear
And now that you've told me boy I can't stop
In a flash I'm all over you
I couldn't stop if you told me to
I'm into you like a bad ass too
Tell me how did this happen
I've never known or what to do
Oh oh oh
I've never felt like this before
Can't say that you don't make me hot
I want to tell ma what you got babe
I've never felt like this before
I'm lovin every minute of it don't stop
You are all I ever want
Can't hold this down or be cool
Now playing my heart
Now I'd like I'm feeling you
So I just get down to the truth
Can nobody do to me baby like you do
I've never felt like this before
Can't say that you don't make me hot
I want to tell ma what you got babe
I've never felt like this before
I'm lovin every minute of it don't stop
You are all I ever want
Open now I'm shattered into a million pieces
Can't stop looking over my shoulder
Just incase you realise just how much you want this
The longer the sweeter baby don't stop
It's ok cause I'm down for you
Not gonna stop till you tell me to
I'm into you like a bad ass too
Tell me how did this happen
I've never known or what to do
Oh oh oh
I've never felt like this before
Can't say that you don't make me hot
I want to tell ma what you got babe
I've never felt like this before
I'm lovin every minute of it don't stop
You are all I ever want
Empty standing where you've left me
Cold boy now I'm frozen by a kiss from your lips
Your heart tells me that you're open
Melted by the answers I've been waiting to hear
And now that you've told me boy I can't stop
In a flash I'm all over you
I couldn't stop if you told me to
I'm into you like a bad ass too
Tell me how did this happen
I've never known or what to do
Oh oh oh
I've never felt like this before
Can't say that you don't make me hot
I want to tell ma what you got babe
I've never felt like this before
I'm lovin every minute of it don't stop
You are all I ever want
Can't hold this down or be cool
Now playing my heart
Now I'd like I'm feeling you
So I just get down to the truth
Can nobody do to me baby like you do
I've never felt like this before
Can't say that you don't make me hot
I want to tell ma what you got babe
I've never felt like this before
I'm lovin every minute of it don't stop
You are all I ever want

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
This is a great melody. Shaznay has a distinctive voice and her song writing skills are great. Great song.
