The Black Keys – Weight of Love Lyrics 6 years ago
This song is about a father worried/concerned about his teenage daughter as he realizes she is starting her social/affective/sexual life.

first verse is about him realizing she is growing up and starting to go out. She can't be "protected" anymore:

I used to think, darling, you never did nothing
But you were always up to something

I got to think those days are coming to get ya
Now no body want to protect ya

the chorus is about his concern about her:

You'll be on my mind
Don't give yourself away
To the weight of love

"don't give yourself away to the weight of love" means he wants her to be careful about love and sex, so she doesn't get hurt

second verse makes reference to partying and hooking up with anyone just because they don't wan't to be alone. Typical teenage behavior:

Dance all night cause people they don't wanna be lonely
Never wanna be lonely
They don't wanna be lonely

and finally, these lines are about her virginity:

You have a thing no one could ever be sure of
Never ever had a pure love
