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.
Like a child that has just been born,
Like a kid in a candy store
You make me feel so brand nu (you make me feel brand nu)
Like a heart that's never been broke before,
Baby I'm so secure cause you make me feel so brand nu
When I first met you boy I was scared of you charm
Cause I was so sure you would break my heart
I wasn't strong enough to let down my guard
Till you told me don't be afraid to fall in love
Cause you knew about hurt and you'd been scarred
I started to believe and I gave love a chance
And I been born again
[Chorus]
Cause baby, you you make me feel brand nu
My darling baby, it's true Only you can make me feel the way I do
My darling baby
You're my dream come true and such my wish
And I never ever felt a love like this
And just when I thought it couldn't get no better
Then you told me you wanna spend the rest of you life with me
Got down on one knee and gave me a ring
Kissed my face and I already knew before I said â??I doâ??
You make me feel brand nu
My darling baby, it's true
Only you can make me feel the way I do
My darling baby
Like a child that has just been born
Like a kid in a candy store
You make me feel so brand nu (you make me feel brand nu)
Like a heart that's never been broke before
Baby I'm so secure cause you make me feel so brand nu (you make me feel brand nu)
You make me feel brand nu
My darling baby, it's true
Only you can make me feel the way I do
My darling baby
You make me feel brand nu
My darling baby, it's true
Only you can make me feel the way I do
My darling baby
Like a kid in a candy store
You make me feel so brand nu (you make me feel brand nu)
Like a heart that's never been broke before,
Baby I'm so secure cause you make me feel so brand nu
When I first met you boy I was scared of you charm
Cause I was so sure you would break my heart
I wasn't strong enough to let down my guard
Till you told me don't be afraid to fall in love
Cause you knew about hurt and you'd been scarred
I started to believe and I gave love a chance
And I been born again
[Chorus]
Cause baby, you you make me feel brand nu
My darling baby, it's true Only you can make me feel the way I do
My darling baby
You're my dream come true and such my wish
And I never ever felt a love like this
And just when I thought it couldn't get no better
Then you told me you wanna spend the rest of you life with me
Got down on one knee and gave me a ring
Kissed my face and I already knew before I said â??I doâ??
You make me feel brand nu
My darling baby, it's true
Only you can make me feel the way I do
My darling baby
Like a child that has just been born
Like a kid in a candy store
You make me feel so brand nu (you make me feel brand nu)
Like a heart that's never been broke before
Baby I'm so secure cause you make me feel so brand nu (you make me feel brand nu)
You make me feel brand nu
My darling baby, it's true
Only you can make me feel the way I do
My darling baby
You make me feel brand nu
My darling baby, it's true
Only you can make me feel the way I do
My darling baby

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.
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.
