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.
Decked out headed straight for me.
A leather girl cut from silk.
She's young, she's wild, she's free.
From her head on down she's dressed to thrill.
Pretty little woman.
Would you mind steppin' into the light?
You look so hot I've got to get me some let.
So much more than flesh and bone,
Rock Doll!!!!
A metal heart pumpin' lace and chrome.
And you're my one desire, every Saturday night.
Rock Doll!!!!
When the backbeat hits the room.
Angel vision fills my eyes.
She moves there's a crash and boom.
A million guitars light the sky.
Pretty little mover.
Let me say I'm enjoyin' the show.
And all I know if I've got to get me some leg.
So much more than flesh and bone,
Rock Doll!!!!
A metal heart pumpin' lace and chrome.
And you're my one desire, every Saturday night.
Rock Doll!!!!
Hey! Hey! What do you say?
6 and 9 and you've got bingo!
So much more than flesh and bone,
Rock Doll!!!!
A metal heart pumpin' lace and chrome.
And you're my one desire, every Saturday night.
Rock Doll!!!!
Angel hold me tight.
Rock Doll!!!!
Angel rock the night.
Rock Doll!!!!
A leather girl cut from silk.
She's young, she's wild, she's free.
From her head on down she's dressed to thrill.
Pretty little woman.
Would you mind steppin' into the light?
You look so hot I've got to get me some let.
So much more than flesh and bone,

And you're my one desire, every Saturday night.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
