This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Floating on waves of static, high above your home
Somewhere in between water and ice
Looking down upon everyone you've ever known
In your whole entire so-called life
I've always thought that you were really something else
Like a presence here from far away
Unwrapped as if to draw attention from yourself
Never, ever having much to say
I know you know just what you like
And I am really not your thing
But just in case you change your mind
I wrote this song for you to sing
You always were the type to hide your head in the sand
Wary of the latest trend or scene
Despite your reticence, your name is in demand
Oblivion through a naughty magazine
I know you know just what you like
And I am really not your thing
But just in case you change your mind
I wrote this song for you to sing
I know you know just what you like
And I am really not your thing
But just in case you change your mind
I wrote this song for you to sing
Somewhere in between water and ice
Looking down upon everyone you've ever known
In your whole entire so-called life
I've always thought that you were really something else
Like a presence here from far away
Unwrapped as if to draw attention from yourself
Never, ever having much to say
I know you know just what you like
And I am really not your thing
But just in case you change your mind
I wrote this song for you to sing
You always were the type to hide your head in the sand
Wary of the latest trend or scene
Despite your reticence, your name is in demand
Oblivion through a naughty magazine
I know you know just what you like
And I am really not your thing
But just in case you change your mind
I wrote this song for you to sing
I know you know just what you like
And I am really not your thing
But just in case you change your mind
I wrote this song for you to sing

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
