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.
She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, oh girl
She likes the boys in the band
She says that I'm her all time favorite
When I make my move to her room
It's the right time, she's never hard to please, oh no
That girl is pretty wild now
The girl's a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazines
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl's a super freak
I'd really love to taste her
Every time we meet
She's all right, she's all right
That girl's all right with me, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
She's a super freak, super freak
She's super freaky, yow
Everybody sing
Super freak, super freak
She's a very special girl (the kind of girl you want around)
From her head down to her toenails (down to her feet, yeah)
And she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends
In a limousine (long and black and shiny, now)
Three's not a crowd to her, she said (ménage à trois, oh my God)
"Room 714, I'll be waiting"
When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles
It's such a freaky scene
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl's a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazines
That girl is pretty wild now
The girl's a super freak
I'd really like to taste her
Every time we meet
She's all right, she's all right
That girl's all right with me, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
She's a super freak, super freak
She's super freaky, yow
Temptations sing
Ohh
Super freak, super freak
That girl's a super freak
Ohh
She's a very kinky girl
The kind you won't take home to mother
And she will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street
Blow Danny
Ow, girl
Ow, girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, oh girl
She likes the boys in the band
She says that I'm her all time favorite
When I make my move to her room
It's the right time, she's never hard to please, oh no
That girl is pretty wild now

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”

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.
