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.
Somebody call my baby
Somebody call her up real quick
I think I need my fix
Always around to please me
Always around to take control
I never feel alone
Yeah
(Chorus)
But you feel so clean
Well she craves affection
So I use protection
And I know she loves me
She loves everybody
Baby oh no
(Oh yeah)
Darling oh no
(Oh yeah)
Baby oh!
(Verse 2)
You're just a little girl now
You're just a girl who misses her dad
And all the toys that she had
Thought I could make you older
Thought I could keep you out of harm
But now you're caught in my arms
(Chorus)
But you feel so clean
Well she craves affection
So I use protection
And I know she loves me
She loves everybody
Baby oh no
(Oh yeah)
Darling oh no
(Oh yeah)
Baby oh!
(Verse 3)
Now that we've made it this far
Now that we've made a mess in the car
You ought to give it a rest
(Chorus)
But you feel so clean
Well she craves affection
So I use protection
And I know she loves me
She loves everybody
But you feel so clean
Well she craves affection
So I use protection
And I know she loves me
She loves everybody
Somebody call her up real quick
I think I need my fix
Always around to please me
Always around to take control
I never feel alone
Yeah
(Chorus)
But you feel so clean
Well she craves affection
So I use protection
And I know she loves me
She loves everybody
Baby oh no
(Oh yeah)
Darling oh no
(Oh yeah)
Baby oh!
(Verse 2)
You're just a little girl now
You're just a girl who misses her dad
And all the toys that she had
Thought I could make you older
Thought I could keep you out of harm
But now you're caught in my arms
(Chorus)
But you feel so clean
Well she craves affection
So I use protection
And I know she loves me
She loves everybody
Baby oh no
(Oh yeah)
Darling oh no
(Oh yeah)
Baby oh!
(Verse 3)
Now that we've made it this far
Now that we've made a mess in the car
You ought to give it a rest
(Chorus)
But you feel so clean
Well she craves affection
So I use protection
And I know she loves me
She loves everybody
But you feel so clean
Well she craves affection
So I use protection
And I know she loves me
She loves everybody

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
The lyrics are so clever, this song tells the portrayal of when you date a sex addict down to the tee, its crazy. Word for word
