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.
Lloyd (Lloyd, Lloyd, Lloyd)
Ooh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It feels so true, this love of mine
Head rush from the touch, my emotions erupt
Realize that I'm stuck, trapped inside of her seduction
Losin' my mind each and every time she's around (she's around, ooh yeah)
Tell Scotty, beam me up, you the endin' of the world
Oh Ms. Lady Luck, I done met the perfect girl
So could this be true lovin' that I found (that I found, ooh yeah)
Don't know what to do, so baby I
Give my heart to you, my valentine
Through and through, a thousand times
It feels so true, this love of mine
So what do I do? Baby I
Give my heart to you, my valentine
Through and through, a thousand times (thousand times, oh yeah)
It feels so true, this love of mine
Seems steadily we growin' baby ain't no rush
Hit the clutch, beat me down, slow it up 'til it's sho' enough
Girl my hearts in the pants of my brain, I'm in love (in love, ooh yeah)
And my buildin' feels like a million bucks
Tell Cupid I've been struck, but too late, couldn't duck
Thank the Lord everyday must be heaven sent from above (from above, ooh baby)
And I don't know what to do, I can't stop lovin' you (can't stop lovin' you)
But it's cool, 'cause I know the truth so I can't deny to myself
That I'm crazy over you, now my heart beats for two (beats for two)
And it just ain't enough to let ya know
Girl, you gotta feel it in your soul, yeah
Don't know what to do, so baby I
Give my heart to you, my valentine
Through and through, a thousand times
It feels so true, this love of mine
So what do I do? Baby I
Give my heart to you, my valentine
Through and through, a thousand times
It feels so true, this love of mine
If this is a dream, don't wake me
The thought of bein' with you just takes me
To the moon and the stars
The world revolves around my heart
Travellin' at the speed of light
And my heartbeat thunders with the thought
Of just one night with you, yeah
You are my dream come true, oh-ooh yeah
I only dream of you, oh baby
You are my dream come true, ooh (I can fly)
Don't know what to do, so baby I
Give my heart to you, my valentine
Through and through, a thousand times
It feels so true, this love of mine
So what do I do? Baby I
Give my heart to you, my valentine
Through and through, a thousand times
It feels so true, this love of mine
Don't know what to do, so baby I
Give my heart to you, my valentine
Through and through, a thousand times
It feels so true, this love of mine
So what do I do? Baby I
Give my heart to you, my valentine
Through and through, a thousand times
It feels so true, this love of mine
