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.
You're not yourself
Come on let me rub your back
Kiss on your neck like I used to do
See you're tense you gotta let go
[Chorus]
Won't you let the juices flow
Flow on flow on flow on
Won't you let the juices flow
Flow on flow on flow on
Girl let down your hair hve no fear
I'm gonna take good care of you
But you gotta open up show me some love
I'm sure that I an pull you through
See there ain't nothin' wrong with
Throwin' on some Luther or some
Marvin Gaye
Baby just relax you can reach climax
Trust me girl don't tell me no
[Chorus]
Forget about the kids or what your ex-
boyfriend did
Tonight just let the feelings flow
See we won't tell no one we had so
much fun
Keep it on the down low
Put on your favorite dress or better yet
Girl don't put on anything
I'll leave it up to you what we're gonna
do
We can do it fast or slow
[Chorus]
See I want to make you smile
I want to make it right
Make you see the light
Everday and night baby
Give you all the things you need
Never let you down always be around
When you're feelin' down
Make you scream and shout
[Chorus]
You just need to relax
Let it flow through your body
You got too much stored up inside
baby
Whatcha tryin' to hide baby
Swallow your selfish pride
Let me come inside baby
Come on let me rub your back
Kiss on your neck like I used to do
See you're tense you gotta let go
[Chorus]
Won't you let the juices flow
Flow on flow on flow on
Won't you let the juices flow
Flow on flow on flow on
Girl let down your hair hve no fear
I'm gonna take good care of you
But you gotta open up show me some love
I'm sure that I an pull you through
See there ain't nothin' wrong with
Throwin' on some Luther or some
Marvin Gaye
Baby just relax you can reach climax
Trust me girl don't tell me no
[Chorus]
Forget about the kids or what your ex-
boyfriend did
Tonight just let the feelings flow
See we won't tell no one we had so
much fun
Keep it on the down low
Put on your favorite dress or better yet
Girl don't put on anything
I'll leave it up to you what we're gonna
do
We can do it fast or slow
[Chorus]
See I want to make you smile
I want to make it right
Make you see the light
Everday and night baby
Give you all the things you need
Never let you down always be around
When you're feelin' down
Make you scream and shout
[Chorus]
You just need to relax
Let it flow through your body
You got too much stored up inside
baby
Whatcha tryin' to hide baby
Swallow your selfish pride
Let me come inside baby
