Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Better than I love my
Better than I love myself
Want you and me
Forever, ever and ever
Just so far from home
Just so far from home
Love you little girl
Better than I love my
Better than I love myself
Want you and me
Forever, ever and ever
Just so far from home
Just so far from home
Love you little girl [Repeat x4]
The lyrics of Mark Lanegan's song "I Love You Little Girl" showcases a deep and all-encompassing love for a lady with whom the singer is undoubtedly besotted. The song presents the singer as someone who is in love with this woman to an extent that goes beyond even his affection for himself. His love for her is so intense that the singer would gladly be with her always and forever. The lines "want you and me/forever, ever and ever" emphasize this point.
Despite the depth of his love for this woman, they are far away from home, which suggests perhaps they are on a journey or have both moved away from their place of origin. The phrase "just so far from home/just so far from home" repeats twice, indicating a sense of isolation and longing for familiarity. The use of the word "little girl" is an affectionate pet name for the woman, and the repetition of the phrase "Love you little girl" at the end of the song reinforces the singer's unwavering devotion.
Overall, "I Love You Little Girl" is a love song that captures the depth of the singer's feelings for a woman he cherishes deeply. The chorus serves as a mantra of sorts, reaffirming his intense love and devotion to her despite the distance and any obstacles that may come their way.
