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.
Most girls, I can't wait for them to leave
And they're giving me the creeps by morning
Most girls, make noises in their sleep,
And I hate to watch them eat
And their boring.
You didn't rat when the lab caught fire
Throughout the Inland Empire
You're my empress, and I crown you
Most girls, I been with before
Are fat and ugly hoe's
Compared to you
Most girls, always think they're right,
But they're wrong, fucking wrong
But, baby, you're not like that
You understand me and it's not an act
You're my empress, and I crown you
[Chorus]
I want to go with you
And leave all this behind us
We'll live in San Berdo
And sell the place in Cypress
Come on let's do it
Run away with me, honey
We'll put a bunch of babies
In you're tummy
And fly away
Most girls, I'd rather be alone
And I can't answer the phone
Cause they're scaring me
Most girls, get psycho and they're mean
And they always make a scene
And they're threatening me
The time apart didn't hurt us
And now I finished my community service
You're my empress, and I crown you
[Chorus]
Come on let's do it
Run away with me, honey
We'll put a bunch of babies
In you're tummy
And fly away
All those years I was just searching
Fuck that noise, baby, you're perfect
All them mean nothing cause I found you
How did you get so awesome?
Let's spend the weekend in Laughlin
You are my empress, I crown you
And they're giving me the creeps by morning
Most girls, make noises in their sleep,
And I hate to watch them eat
And their boring.
You didn't rat when the lab caught fire
Throughout the Inland Empire
You're my empress, and I crown you
Most girls, I been with before
Are fat and ugly hoe's
Compared to you
Most girls, always think they're right,
But they're wrong, fucking wrong
But, baby, you're not like that
You understand me and it's not an act
You're my empress, and I crown you
[Chorus]
I want to go with you
And leave all this behind us
We'll live in San Berdo
And sell the place in Cypress
Come on let's do it
Run away with me, honey
We'll put a bunch of babies
In you're tummy
And fly away
Most girls, I'd rather be alone
And I can't answer the phone
Cause they're scaring me
Most girls, get psycho and they're mean
And they always make a scene
And they're threatening me
The time apart didn't hurt us
And now I finished my community service
You're my empress, and I crown you
[Chorus]
Come on let's do it
Run away with me, honey
We'll put a bunch of babies
In you're tummy
And fly away
All those years I was just searching
Fuck that noise, baby, you're perfect
All them mean nothing cause I found you
How did you get so awesome?
Let's spend the weekend in Laughlin
You are my empress, I crown you

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/

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.
