Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Can't nobody love you, baby,
Like I'm loving you right now
'Cause they don't know how to love you like I do
And can't nobody talk to you, babe,
Like I'm talking to you right now.
I just don't know how to talk to you like I said I do.
I'm gonna love you in the morning,
I'm gonna love you through the night
And I won't stop loving you, baby,
'Cause this way everything's alright.
Can't nobody love you
Like I'm loving you right now.
They just don't know how to love you like I do.
And, oh love,
Can't nobody kiss you, baby,
Like I'm kissing you right now.
I just don't know how to kiss you like I said I do.
And can't nobody,
Oh, can't nobody love you,
Can't nobody squeeze you,
Can't nobody kiss you like I do,
I just don't know how to talk to you like I said I do.
Now some guys make eyes at you
But they don't do it all the time,
Believe me,
I'd never do it, baby,
But, you know,
No one's on my mind.
Can't nobody love you
Like I'm loving you right now
'Cause they don't know how to love you like I do.
Yeah,
Children speak to me,
Talk...
I'm gonna love you in the morning, baby,
And I'm gonna love you through the night.
I won't stop,
I won't stop loving you, babe,
'Til everything's alright.
Can't nobody love you
Like I'm loving you right now
'Cause they don't know how to love you,
Don't know how to love you like I do.
Oh baby, yeah.
Yeah, 'cause they don;t know how,
They don't know how to love you
Like I said I'll do,
Oh yeah.
Like I'm loving you right now
'Cause they don't know how to love you like I do
And can't nobody talk to you, babe,
Like I'm talking to you right now.
I just don't know how to talk to you like I said I do.
I'm gonna love you in the morning,
I'm gonna love you through the night
And I won't stop loving you, baby,
'Cause this way everything's alright.
Can't nobody love you
Like I'm loving you right now.
They just don't know how to love you like I do.
And, oh love,
Can't nobody kiss you, baby,
Like I'm kissing you right now.
I just don't know how to kiss you like I said I do.
And can't nobody,
Oh, can't nobody love you,
Can't nobody squeeze you,
Can't nobody kiss you like I do,
I just don't know how to talk to you like I said I do.
Now some guys make eyes at you
But they don't do it all the time,
Believe me,
I'd never do it, baby,
But, you know,
No one's on my mind.
Can't nobody love you
Like I'm loving you right now
'Cause they don't know how to love you like I do.
Yeah,
Children speak to me,
Talk...
I'm gonna love you in the morning, baby,
And I'm gonna love you through the night.
I won't stop,
I won't stop loving you, babe,
'Til everything's alright.
Can't nobody love you
Like I'm loving you right now
'Cause they don't know how to love you,
Don't know how to love you like I do.
Oh baby, yeah.
Yeah, 'cause they don;t know how,
They don't know how to love you
Like I said I'll do,
Oh yeah.

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/
