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.
Well I've been coming round here, for so long
Suddenly everything, seems so wrong
Like digging myself deeper, into a hole
Until I met you girl, I was just waiting to get old
But now you thrill me up
You thrill me up
And you fill me up with everything I need
It's not that easy for me, to explain
With out embarrassment girl, and lot's of pain
You know that I'm not use to all this honesty
This whole love thing is such a risk to me
Now I've been coming round here, for so long
Suddenly everything, seems so wrong
Like digging myself deeper, into a hole
Til I met you girl, I was just waiting to get old
But now you thrill me up
You thrill me up
And you fill me up with everything I need
What do you do for me girl?
Thrill me up
What do you do for me girl?
Thrill me up
You thrill me thrill me
Thrill me thrill me
I don't wanna see you one more time
Turn around and you'll be mine
Suddenly everything, seems so wrong
Like digging myself deeper, into a hole
Until I met you girl, I was just waiting to get old
But now you thrill me up
You thrill me up
And you fill me up with everything I need
It's not that easy for me, to explain
With out embarrassment girl, and lot's of pain
You know that I'm not use to all this honesty
This whole love thing is such a risk to me
Now I've been coming round here, for so long
Suddenly everything, seems so wrong
Like digging myself deeper, into a hole
Til I met you girl, I was just waiting to get old
But now you thrill me up
You thrill me up
And you fill me up with everything I need
What do you do for me girl?
Thrill me up
What do you do for me girl?
Thrill me up
You thrill me thrill me
Thrill me thrill me
I don't wanna see you one more time
Turn around and you'll be mine
