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.

i'm lookin at you and I can see you lookin at me too
Well - well, what's up? tell me what'cha wanna do
Boy, it ain't no time for you to be actin shy
I know you like what you see, and baby so do I
(PRE-CHORUS)
If you want some of this, it's ok
If you can't handle the game, then don't play
You ain't never had it quite this way
This ain't “the crying game”
Tell me are you man enough to take it
You ain't gotta be scared, I know you want this
Since you already here, why don't we do this
I'm gonna put it down, baby are you down?
(CHORUS)
Oops, gotcha callin me - I oops, gotcha wantin me
Yo girl is pissed at me, but it ain't my fault you like it kinky.
Oops, got him callin me - I oops, got him wantin me
Got two hatin me, but it ain't my fault he like it freaky.
now it's two o'clock and i'm ready to shake the spot
You said “can you come wit me ?”
So I said “why not?”
You said “its bout to be on”
Cause you see through my dress the red thong
But I gotta tell you somethin'
If you down then nothin's wrong
(BRIDGE)
Ooh I, know you wanna feel my body, kinky freaky -freaky kinky.
Ooh you, didn't know what you stepped into
Freaky kinky-now you needin' me
(RAP)
Don't be callin me wit dis bullshit, I don't need this

Say my man is over there hittin it, then you's a dead bitch
You gone be missin in action

Including yo man balls, we was bouncin' while you waitin at the mall
He told me I was he sexy ghetto chocolate Barbie doll

Last time I checked I thought you was a man
i'm more than a man, just ask yo man-he knew what he was doing when
He unzipped his pants. you thought you were his one and only
He bone me and bone me ass kissin, penetratin the middle all on me, shit!
He wanted me, fondling me, climbing up my sugar walls, he left his drawls on my canopy.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song is pure sex. It's about some guy who explores his sexuality with Ru. Hot.
