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.
Can't breathe, can't sleep, crazy, what you do to me
Head is smokin', feeling my heart is open
So hazy, but it's alright, you take me, to the dark side
Dangerous, but I'm fearless
My eyes are blue but I'm seeing red
And I just can't shake you outta my head
Maybe maybe maybe, maybe maybe maybe
I'm a little bit love drunk
Ever get the feeling where you're miles away
Everybody's looking at me walking, stumbling
Hardly talking, mumbling, going red in the face
Promise I've been drinkin' only lemonade, it's all I take
My hearts just on one about someone
And I'm a little bit love drunk
Feelin' so hot, I'm taking your clothes off
Glasses steamed up, I'm dreaming that no one can see us
Lying underneath the stars, Jupiter hits on mars
And it hits me so hard
My eyes are blue but I'm seeing red
And I just can't shake you outta my head
Maybe maybe maybe, maybe maybe maybe
I'm a little bit love drunk
Ever get the feeling where you're miles away
Everybody's looking at me walking, stumbling
Hardly talking, mumbling, going red in the face
Promise I've been drinkin' only lemonade, it's all I take
My hearts just on one about someone
And I'm a little bit love drunk
Trippin' on the floor
Freaky love for sure
Still I need you more
You knock me down with those eyes
And do it every time
Can't shake you out of my mind
Just a little bit love drunk head in the clouds
And that will never be a hater that can bring us down
I've been slurring my words and I don't know what to say
But it's a feeling that I believe in, never felt this way
And I swear I don't even like anything
They call me love drunk cuz I'm far from tipsy
They call me love drunk, what are you doing to me?
They call me love drunk cuz I'm far from tipsy
My eyes are blue but I'm seeing red
And I just can't shake you outta my head
Getting so hot that I'm getting cold now I'm feverish and I'm about to blow
Maybe maybe maybe
Maybe maybe maybe
Maybe maybe maybe
I'm a little bit love drunk
Ever get the feeling where you're miles away
Everybody's looking at me walking, stumbling
Hardly talking, mumbling, going red in the face
Promise I've been drinkin' only lemonade, it's all I take
My hearts just on one about someone
And I'm a little bit love drunk
I'm a little bit love drunk
I'm a little bit love drunk
I'm a little bit love drunk
My eyes are blue but I'm seeing red
I'm a little bit love drunk
Head is smokin', feeling my heart is open
So hazy, but it's alright, you take me, to the dark side
Dangerous, but I'm fearless
My eyes are blue but I'm seeing red
And I just can't shake you outta my head
Maybe maybe maybe, maybe maybe maybe
I'm a little bit love drunk
Ever get the feeling where you're miles away
Everybody's looking at me walking, stumbling
Hardly talking, mumbling, going red in the face
Promise I've been drinkin' only lemonade, it's all I take
My hearts just on one about someone
And I'm a little bit love drunk
Feelin' so hot, I'm taking your clothes off
Glasses steamed up, I'm dreaming that no one can see us
Lying underneath the stars, Jupiter hits on mars
And it hits me so hard
My eyes are blue but I'm seeing red
And I just can't shake you outta my head
Maybe maybe maybe, maybe maybe maybe
I'm a little bit love drunk
Ever get the feeling where you're miles away
Everybody's looking at me walking, stumbling
Hardly talking, mumbling, going red in the face
Promise I've been drinkin' only lemonade, it's all I take
My hearts just on one about someone
And I'm a little bit love drunk
Trippin' on the floor
Freaky love for sure
Still I need you more
You knock me down with those eyes
And do it every time
Can't shake you out of my mind
Just a little bit love drunk head in the clouds
And that will never be a hater that can bring us down
I've been slurring my words and I don't know what to say

They call me love drunk cuz I'm far from tipsy

Getting so hot that I'm getting cold now I'm feverish and I'm about to blow
Maybe maybe maybe

I'm a little bit love drunk
Ever get the feeling where you're miles away
Everybody's looking at me walking, stumbling

Promise I've been drinkin' only lemonade, it's all I take
My hearts just on one about someone
And I'm a little bit love drunk
I'm a little bit love drunk
I'm a little bit love drunk
I'm a little bit love drunk
My eyes are blue but I'm seeing red
I'm a little bit love drunk

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
