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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I did it again, I made you believe
We're more than just friends, oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me, oh baby, baby
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby, oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above, I'm not that innocent
You see my problem is this, I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist, I cry watching the days
Can't you see, I'm a fool in so many ways
But to lose all my senses that is just so typically me
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby, oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above, I'm not that innocent
Jätkät hei, mä lähen meneen ny ihan oikeesti
Hei Ankku hei, ennen ku lähet ni kato mitä mä toin sulle
Ei jumalauta, hyvännäkönen, siis eiks tää oo siis
On on, sixpack, kyllä
Eihän sun ois tarvinnu hyvä mies
Sitä paitsi meill' on noita väkeviä
Nii nii, mut aamuks
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby, oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above, I'm not that innocent
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I did it again, I made you believe
We're more than just friends, oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me, oh baby, baby
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby, oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above, I'm not that innocent
You see my problem is this, I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist, I cry watching the days
Can't you see, I'm a fool in so many ways
But to lose all my senses that is just so typically me
Oops, I did it again

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
