Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I want to say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
I ain't got many friends left to talk to
Nowhere to run when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it undercover
I just want to use your love tonight (whoa)
I don't want to lose your love tonight
Try to stop my hands from shaking
Something in my mind's not making sense
It's been a while since we were all alone
I can't hide the way I'm feeling
As you're leaving, please, won't you close the door?
And don't forget what I told you
Just 'cause you're right, that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I just want to use your love tonight (yeah)
I don't want to lose your love tonight (yeah)
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
(Use your love, lose your love) your love
(Use your love, lose your, tonight) Well, I don't wanna lose
Oh, I don't want to lose (lose your, tonight)
I don't wanna, no, I don't wanna
I don't wanna lose (use your, tonight)
Your love, your (lose your, tonight)
Your love (use your, tonight)
Your love (lose your, tonight) I don't want to lose your love tonight
Love (use your, tonight)
(Lose your)

I think it's pretty clear this song is about a guy who is confused. His girlfriend is on vacation. He feels lonely, no ones around to talk to when he's in trouble. There's another girl, someone who is older and he probably had a crush on so he wants her to come over so they can talk over his feelings. They haven't been alone in a long time. He mentions the word love so that's laying it on pretty thick if it's a one night stand. I mean no need to go there and make it complicated with someone in his social circle if it's not true.
I don't think they sleep together. I think they are friends and he would do anything for her. They were just going to hang out but then he makes a move and he's also thinking about the ramifications because his hands are shaking but he doesn't care, because he can't help the way the he's thinking. I think she turns him down and goes to leave and he asks her to close the door, literally and figuratively - meaning keep it undercover.
Just because she's right, doesn't mean he's wrong. ---- She think she's just another shoulder to cry on and he's not in love with her. And in his mind, yes she's another shoulder to cry on beside Josie but he also does like her too.
This is the only explanation that makes use of all the lyrics.
