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.
Doo doo, doo doo,
Baby, gonna make you happy tonight
Gonna make you happy tonight
Oh sugar
Give my love to you, oh baby, gonna make you feel so right
Gonna make you, make you happy, ooh sugar
Spend some time with you
Do the things you want me to, gonna make love
Gonna make some sweet sweet love, sugar
So get ready oh get ready get ready get ready for lovin' tonight
Yeah, Oh
Before we get down to love, before we get down
I just gotta finish this level
You see I got a high score tonight
And I just wanna save my game
Well I'll be with you in a minute sweet darling baby honey
I love how you dance for me
Could you move a little to the left, baby
I can see the tv, oh, hey
Baby I can't wait 'til we start
Its just that the safe points are quite far apart, in this game, baby
Ooh la la la la la la la
This parts got a multiplayer section honey
Maybe you could operate a torrent with me, would you like that baby?
Games give you hand-eye coordination especially intelligence together with map reading skills, oh sugar
Turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down just a little bit lower baby
Turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down low
Its just that it helps me feel like I'm in a space ship
Sweet sweet love honey sugar baby ooh you look so great to me
Baby
Have you brushed your teeth yet?
Take your time, no hurry
It's just that I'm not tired
Are you tired?
I'll see you in the bed then
You might wanna take a book, baby
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh, you're so fine baby
You know I can't stop thinking about you baby
And all of the magic coins that I need to collect
Yea, see I just gotta find one more point of armor clause and then I can take on the robots of zargon bee and then we can make love
I think this Xbox
Is the best present I ever bought for you, baby!
Baby, gonna make you happy tonight
Gonna make you happy tonight
Oh sugar
Give my love to you, oh baby, gonna make you feel so right
Gonna make you, make you happy, ooh sugar
Spend some time with you
Do the things you want me to, gonna make love
Gonna make some sweet sweet love, sugar
So get ready oh get ready get ready get ready for lovin' tonight
Yeah, Oh
Before we get down to love, before we get down
