The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Mujer noche
te volvere a atrapar
entre las sombras de tus ojos pude ver
Mujer noche
te volvere a buscar
entre sueños te converti en amanecer oh eh oh
se que me buscas tan callada
ves de reojo, luz pendiente de mis noches solitarias
se que camino a tus espaldas
tu cuidas de tus pasos muy despacio y sin pisar en falso
Mujer noche
te volvere a atrapar
entre la sombra de tus ojos pude ver
Mujer noche
te volvere a buscar
entre sueños te converti en amanecer oh eh oh
Ciega y viva de pasion entre mis redes
no podras dejar atras lo que mas quieres
esta noche voy a ser, cuando tu vuelves
el rumor del viento que susurro a tus oidos
que solo eres para mi
Mujer noche...
Que puedo hacer coger tu pelo al viento
tu corazon, tomar tu mano y convertirte en mis noches
la mujer
Mujer noche te volvere a atrapar
entre las sombras de tus ojos pude ver
Mujer noche
te volvere a buscar
entre sueños te converti en amanecer oh eh oh
Suelta tu risa enamorada
nos robaron mañanas colmadas
de bromas sin palabras
fuegos de un amor imposible
que ya no espera la distancia
del dia de su creacion
Mujer noche te volvere a atrapar
entre las sombras de tus ojos pude ver
Mujer noche
te volvere a buscar
entre sueños te converti en amanecer oh eh oh
se que me buscas tan callada
ves de reojo, luz pendiente de mis noches solitarias
se que camino a tus espaldas
tu cuidas de tus pasos muy despacio y sin pisar en falso
Mujer noche te volvere a atrapar
entre las sombras de tus ojos pude ver
Mujer noche
te volvere a buscar
entre sueños te converti en amanecer oh eh oh
Mujer noche te volvere a atrapar
entre las sombras de tus ojos pude ver
Mujer noche
te volvere a buscar
entre sueños te converti en amanecer oh eh oh
Mujer noche....
Entre tus sombras pude ver
si no puedes dormir muy bien
veras el sol salir, mujer
te converti en amanecer.
te volvere a atrapar
entre las sombras de tus ojos pude ver
Mujer noche

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
