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.
Na na na na na
I don't wanna spend my nights alone, away from you.
Cause I miss you baby, and I need to be sure you know.
You know, I'm so in love with you.
Love is all that you need, just give it to me.
And I'll make you see there's nothing like it, love
Just reach out and touch, I want you so much
I know you wanna do it too

I'm so in love with you. [Repeat x4]
