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.
If you want it did you never want for more
The girlscout fell from grace
If you want it did you never want for more
I spit inside her face
If you want it did you never want for more
The lines that cut right through
If you want it did you never want for more
The numbness that was you
What I want, what will I need
To sacrifice what I believe
My little girlscout, your mouth is getting sore
Will you love me any less if I hurt you any more
If you want it did you never want for more
Cleansing every sore
If you want it did you never want for more
Sold from door to door
If you want it did you never want for more
Finish what you start
If you want it did you never want for more
Dehumanize my heart
What I want, what will I need
To sacrifice what I believe
My little girlscout, your mouth is getting sore
Will you love me any less if I hurt you any more
And I was never your #1 fan
How can I grow a girl when you never were a man
and I was never nice and I've gone too far
You don't need to be nice when you've been kissed by a star
Kissed by a star, kissed by a star
Hurt by a star, fucked by a star
Kissed by a star, kissed by a star
Kissed by a star
Fuck what I want
Fuck what I need
I'll sacrifice what I believe
My little girlscout, your mouth is getting sore
Will you love me any less if I hurt you any more
The girlscout fell from grace
If you want it did you never want for more
I spit inside her face
If you want it did you never want for more
The lines that cut right through
If you want it did you never want for more
The numbness that was you
What I want, what will I need
To sacrifice what I believe
My little girlscout, your mouth is getting sore
Will you love me any less if I hurt you any more
If you want it did you never want for more
Cleansing every sore
If you want it did you never want for more
Sold from door to door
If you want it did you never want for more
Finish what you start
If you want it did you never want for more
Dehumanize my heart
What I want, what will I need
To sacrifice what I believe
My little girlscout, your mouth is getting sore
Will you love me any less if I hurt you any more
And I was never your #1 fan
How can I grow a girl when you never were a man
and I was never nice and I've gone too far
You don't need to be nice when you've been kissed by a star
Kissed by a star, kissed by a star
Hurt by a star, fucked by a star
Kissed by a star, kissed by a star
Kissed by a star
Fuck what I want
Fuck what I need
I'll sacrifice what I believe
My little girlscout, your mouth is getting sore
Will you love me any less if I hurt you any more

Ed Sheeran
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.
i love the line ' will you love me any less if I hurt you any more' I think the song's about someone (a girl?) who loves jessicka, but sche doesn't love her. and she keeps telling her, but it doesn't work.
