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.
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
Walk in the place
They know my face
Encore sophomore
Only one solo, I swore
Big mouth, applause
Oh please, one more
Wanna hear it before I say naw?
Let me check my itinerary
Mmm, all right
Presto, skin tight
Escape and I risked my life
For what, so I can watch them bite
Only one Gwen you can find like this
I mean blow your mind like this
Your key won't shine like this
If it's yours, then you know it won't wind like this
Wind it up
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
I know you've been waiting
But I've been out making babies
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
(It's time to make you sweat)
Sex and sugar is the flavor
Ovens and beaters and graters
Beats made of bongos and shakers
(It's time to make you sweat)
Walk in the place
They know my face
Billionaire boys
Ice cream drippin' 'cross the floor
Big house, garage
Bentleys, Ferrari
Wanna go before I say naw?
Let met check my itinerary
Mmm, all right
G four, G flight
Bed in the back, so I have a G night
Goodnight, hood right
Ain't no nigga you can find like this
I mean blow your mind like this
Nigga's watch don't shine like this
If it's ticking, then it don't tell time like this
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
I know you've been waiting
But I've been out making babies
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
(It's time to make you sweat)
Sex and sugar is the flavor
Ovens and beaters and graters
Beats made of bongos and shakers
(It's time to make you sweat)
Now sweat, baby
Get stupid, jump up, go crazy
L.A.M.B. in 3-D
Worldwide across your T.V.
P, you crazy; how'd you get this?
This sounds like disco Tetris
Do I have time to connect this?
Let me check my itinerary
Mmm
I came back for my spotlight
(For her spotlight)
I disappeared like Houdini
(Where? Houdini)
If yours didn't come out right
(If it's not right...)
Go to Kinko's and Xerox me
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ya , I really like the beat and everything. It is pretty catchy.
