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.
I told her I'll be right back
I'll be comin' right back
No, save it for me
Save it for me, yeah
I told her I'll be right back
I'll be comin' right back
She gon', save it for me
You know she gon' save it for me, yeah
Said only real niggas get to fuck with me
She said only real niggas get to fuck with me
Save it for me
She gon' save it for me
Passed my number to Angela, I thought I had her
Her nigga cuffed her, married, it made me madder
I respect it, I'm moving on, but the truth is I want her badder
Maybe me sayin' her name made him move faster (facts)
Maybe me bein' a G was kind of bad for her
But me bein' a G, I was glad for her
My baby mama was pissed, I ain't heard the last from her
My side bitch with the shit, but I bought a bag for her
I told her I'll be right back
I'll be comin' right back
She gon', save it for me
You know she gon' save it for me, yeah
Don't give it up, please don't give it up
It's too good, they don't need to know
All you gotta do is
Save it for me
She gon' save it for me
Told you once, I get my money, I'm comin' back for you
You from the hood, I'm from the hood, I shoot this MAC for you
She was thick, light skinned, her name was Constance
I never got to fuck with her, it still fuck with my conscience
Every hood got that one bitch
You always wanted but you never get (that's my Constance)
You called my homegirl but the feeling's deeper
Whoever got her she a keeper
She from the hood, she my people
I told her I'll be right back
I'll be comin' right back
No, save it for me
Save it for me, yeah
I told her I'll be right back
I'll be comin' right back
She gon', save it for me
You know she gon' save it for me, yeah
Don't give it up, please don't give it up
It's too good, they don't need to know
All you gotta do is
Save it for me
She gon' save it for me
All these niggas downloadin', tryna steal my sauce
Everybody in my girl DM's, you supposed to be my dog
But she don't reply to 'em, she send me the screenshot
Just in case, when I pull up you can't lie about it
Beat his ass, with a strap, I wish a nigga would
I love my bad bitch, but I love that chopper too
Poppin' tags, she like shopping bags, look at all her shoes
Ain't no limitations when you popping and you got the juice
All of this money I'm making today
I can see why they hate me, she really love me
And she know I'm crazy, but that's still my baby
She the first lady, sex me too amazing
She say she gon' save it for me
I told her I'll be right back
I'll be comin' right back
No, save it for me
Save it for me, yeah
I told her I'll be right back
I'll be comin' right back
She gon', save it for me
You know she gon' save it for me, yeah
Don't give it up, please don't give it up
It's too good, they don't need to know
All you gotta do is
Save it for me
She gon' save it for me
I'll be comin' right back
No, save it for me
Save it for me, yeah
I told her I'll be right back
I'll be comin' right back

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
