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.
Spending every moment in the studio
I never said it'd be fair
But when you're all alone I hope you truly know
How bad I want to be there
Come right in, set your bag down
Took a night off for you
Go ahead and turn the lights off
But keep your heels on
They're fittin' for what I'm about to do, oh
Know you hate explaining how you want it done
Just be quiet, I'll do fine without your help, girl
Can you work without a second for some fun?
Now you finally got a moment to yourself, girl
And I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, hey
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Hey
Oh, I, I, I been waiting for so long to get you all alone
Now I finally got you right here (right here)
So, baby, I'm a lock my door and disconnect my phone
'Cause I wanna make one thing clear
I want you on top, so let your hair down
I took the night off for you
Girl, I'm gonna turn the lights off
But keep your heels on
They're fittin' for what we're about to do, oh
Come right in, set your bag down
Took a night off for you
Go ahead and turn the lights off
But keep your heels on
They're fittin' for what I'm about to do, oh
Know you hate explaining how you want it done
Just be quiet, I'll do fine without your help, girl
Can you work without a second for some fun?
Now you finally got a moment to yourself, girl
And I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
Oh
It's six o'clock in the morning at the studio
I never said it'd be fair
But when you're all alone I hope you truly know
How bad I want to be there
Come right in, set your bag down
Took a night off for you
Go ahead and turn the lights off
But keep your heels on
They're fittin' for what I'm about to do, oh
Know you hate explaining how you want it done
Just be quiet, I'll do fine without your help, girl
Can you work without a second for some fun?
Now you finally got a moment to yourself, girl
And I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, hey
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Hey
Oh, I, I, I been waiting for so long to get you all alone
Now I finally got you right here (right here)
So, baby, I'm a lock my door and disconnect my phone
'Cause I wanna make one thing clear
I want you on top, so let your hair down
I took the night off for you
Girl, I'm gonna turn the lights off
But keep your heels on
They're fittin' for what we're about to do, oh

I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
Oh
