I don't remember when I first noticed this, but She & Him's "Never Wanted Your Love" from Volume Three seems to take some influence from Smokey Robinson & the Miracles' "You've Really Got a Hold on Me."
In "Never Wanted Your Love," there's a recurring section where the lines "I never wanted your love / But I needed it all" are repeated a few times. It bears more than a little resemblance to Robinson's "I don’t like you, but I love you" or even "I don’t want you, but I need you," which employs the same verbs (albeit with a slightly different negation and in a different tense).
I'm more confident in venturing this influence than I would some others because She & Him covered "You're Really Got a Hold on Me" (with a slightly different title: "You Really Gotta Hold on Me") on their first album Volume One. Whether the lyrical resemblance between "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" and "Never Wanted Your Love" was intentional or not, "You Really Gotta Hold on Me" proves that She & Him are familiar with Robinson's song.
