Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
Listen baby
Every night and day
I dream of another way
to tell you something good
I don't think that I'm understood
You walk away and I frown
With my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong
You just wanna be loved all night long baby
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
You told me a thousand times
That you would be mine, all mine
I do everything for you
But in your smile, I still can't find
And now you tell me this
This is something that I can miss
And all you wanna do is to love me for me
And I'll love you for you
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
Now that I know I'm gonna make love to you
So lady open up your heart
And let me in where I belong
If loving you is all that I have to do
Then it won't be wrong baby
Cause we belong together baby
Together we will be as one
Just me and you, you you you
Will you love me
I will love you
Will you please me
I will please you
Girl, don't leave me
I won't leave you
Let's make it easy
I'll make it easy
Will you love me
I will love you
Will you please me
I will please you, you, you
Girl, don't leave me
I won't leave you
Let's make it easy
They can take my possessions
No, no, no, no, They can never take your love away from me
Oh, see now listen, with every breath I breath
And every beat in my heart
I know that no one, I know that no one
Can tear us apart
'Cause I love you baby
I love you too
And I need you baby
I need you to baby
Stay with me more than just a day
And you know, you know, you know
I love you
Oh yes
Oh you make me feel so good baby
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
Listen baby
Every night and day
I dream of another way
to tell you something good
I don't think that I'm understood
You walk away and I frown
With my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong
You just wanna be loved all night long baby
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
You told me a thousand times
That you would be mine, all mine
I do everything for you
But in your smile, I still can't find
And now you tell me this
This is something that I can miss
And all you wanna do is to love me for me
And I'll love you for you
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
Now that I know I'm gonna make love to you
So lady open up your heart
And let me in where I belong
If loving you is all that I have to do
Then it won't be wrong baby
Cause we belong together baby
Together we will be as one
Just me and you, you you you
Will you love me
I will love you
Will you please me
I will please you
Girl, don't leave me
I won't leave you
Let's make it easy
I'll make it easy
Will you love me
I will love you
Will you please me
I will please you, you, you
Girl, don't leave me
I won't leave you
Let's make it easy
They can take my possessions
No, no, no, no, They can never take your love away from me
Oh, see now listen, with every breath I breath
And every beat in my heart
I know that no one, I know that no one
Can tear us apart
'Cause I love you baby
I love you too
And I need you baby
I need you to baby
Stay with me more than just a day
And you know, you know, you know
I love you
Oh yes
Oh you make me feel so good baby

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
