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.
Hey (yeah)
Eh (what)
Hey, yeah, yeah
C'mon (c'mon)
(Here we go)
Everyday I see you
With some girlfriend, yeah
You think I could care less
About it (care less about it)
I could keep it secret
Keep playing pretend, oh
But the way I feel you, I doubt it
No more waiting, hesitating
It's guaranteed
I'm gonna make you miss me
You're gonna want to kiss me
I'm gonna make you miss me
All of the time
Boy you want to get with me
You know you can't resist me
I'm gonna make you miss me
'Til you are mine
(Verse two, check it out)
You're about to find out
I get what I want
Once I've made up my mind
(Made up my mind, oh)
Gonna let you see me
Turning it on
That'll make you open your eyes
Your eyes
You'll be pulling
You'll be pulling
Passionately, 'cause
I'm gonna make you miss me
You're gonna want to kiss me
I'm gonna make you miss me
All of the time
'Til you are mine
You've gotta know that something's up
I'll show you how I could love you
I'll turn it on (I'll turn it on)
Then I'll be gone (then I'll be gone)
But only 'til you come through
And feel the way that I do, oh
I'm gonna make you love me baby (yeah, yeah)
I want to hear you call my name (say again, say again)
Not gonna stop until you say it (say it)
All of the(time)
I'm gonna make you love me baby (what, what)
I want to hear you call my name (Keelay)
Not gonna stop until you say it (uh)
All of the time
I'm gonna make you miss me
You're gonna want to kiss me
I'm gonna make you miss me
All of the time
I'm gonna make you miss me
You're gonna want to kiss me
I'm gonna make you miss me
All of the time
Eh (what)
Hey, yeah, yeah

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
