"'''You Gave Your Love to Me Softly'''" is notably short, at only 1:58. In this song, [[Rivers Cuomo]] sings about one night with a girl that "lingers on and on and on." It is quick, up-beat song with a solo that mirrors the vocal melody. When asked by a fan about the lyrical reference to Bijan perfume, Cuomo responded: "I have a thing for old lady perfume (on young ladies)."

The original [[1995]] recording is featured on the soundtrack to the film ''[[Angus]]''. It was produced by Rob Cavallo. This version is shorter, at 1:51. The song was re-recorded during the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions, and retains the rough sound of those sessions. This version is slightly slower, resulting in a longer running time.
