He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Wesley Willis starts to break down
Feels the beat and hits the dance floor
I will listen to the radio
Still I can't hear you on the telephone
It's a shakedown so count from one to three
And shake your booty 'til the early dawn
You gotta be laid back, rock to obscurity
Then you will surely find there's nothing wrong with me
Three months have passed
And no reception has left me searching for another one
It's too bad that I was believing
That you could ever be more than deceiving
And when I listen to the radio
Now i'm not thinking things about you
And all the things you say that drive me crazy
Could not compare to the things you never say
Now is the end
I will call her a friend
I won't regret what I said (what I said)
When I become a man then I will surely see
That you were just a girl and you were wrong for me
If you would ever call I know that I'd be home
Because I'm waiting and I'm all alone
Feels the beat and hits the dance floor
I will listen to the radio
Still I can't hear you on the telephone
It's a shakedown so count from one to three
And shake your booty 'til the early dawn
You gotta be laid back, rock to obscurity
Then you will surely find there's nothing wrong with me
Three months have passed
And no reception has left me searching for another one
It's too bad that I was believing
That you could ever be more than deceiving
And when I listen to the radio
Now i'm not thinking things about you
And all the things you say that drive me crazy
Could not compare to the things you never say
Now is the end
I will call her a friend
I won't regret what I said (what I said)
When I become a man then I will surely see
That you were just a girl and you were wrong for me
If you would ever call I know that I'd be home
Because I'm waiting and I'm all alone

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
ya, these are some good lyrics. Trying to get over someone. He knows that he has been wronged, and there is no good reason to date her, but if she ever called, he'd take her back
