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.
Don't stop,
Won't stop
Go on, get it girl.
Everyone in this galaxy
Just wants to see you twirl.
One step, two step, now walk it out.
Don't be shy baby,
And show em' what your all about.
No, six, seven, eight, nine, girl you're a ten.
Like late-breaking news on CNN.
Tap-tap-tap it like happy feet.
Rewind, stop, play, and hit repeat.
Oh
My
God.
This girl's a star.
I'll build a rocketship,
Just to take me where you are.
Pass the skies,
I swear no lies.
You don't compete with these,
So when I'm with you, please.
Don't stop,
Won't stop
Go on, get it girl.

Take off your stilettos
Take off your stilettos and
Huh huh huh huh huh in the backseat
Take off your stilettos
Take off your stilettos and
Huh huh huh huh huh in the backseat
Come explore
The intergalactic with me.
I swear,
It'll be super fantastic.
You'll see.
Let it rain,
And clear it out.
We're raving,
I'm craving,
She's paving,
She's staying,
I'm saying,
That I'm paying
Get laying
From day in
To day out.
She's a stunner.
(And that's no doubt)
(Shorty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low,)
Don't stop,
Won't stop
Go on, get it girl.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/

Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I love how Nickasaur sneaks in "Shorty got low low low low low low low" (from "Low" by Flo Rida) after he sing "She's a stunner (and that's no doubt)"
