I think this is the Andrew W.K. version of a 50's/early 60's love song. The chorus is wholesome, simple and full of anxious love. He only wants to take her on a date, with just some hints at something more sexual.
But it has that strange, almost creepy Andrew element in it, that slightly perverts the 50's vibe of the song. Lines like "I know that you live along because I listen to you cry" kind of warp the more virtuous parts of the song (ex. "Gosh I wish I wasn't so shy"). Also the fact that the narrator is in love with a person who he doesn't really know makes it beautifully creepy.
And of course it's a noisy, raucous, layered song instead of simple and soft.
In the end just a fantastic song... on of many on the Close Calls With Brick Walls/Mother of Mankind.
