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 got sumthin to tell y'all today
Some o' y'all might not like it
But then again somebody out there might just will
Lemme take my time and tell you baby
I feel good about tellin y'all about this
Can I get a witness yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Ever since I was a baby boy
I played with ladies like my toys
Always said I'd never fall in love
Don't want to care about a woman that much
Never thought I would find a girl
Who would change my attitude
Now my heart doesn't care
Went outta my mind
As fast as it would come to you
Baby, you're the reason why
[Chorus]
I won't never say never again
I won't never say never again
I won't never say never
'Cause lovin you baby
Has taught me a lesson, no
I won't never say never again
JoJo sing it
Ooooohhh, you got me goin
Deeper'n deeper, deeper'n deeper
I just want to get a little deeper with you baby
Oooh, don't stop
Let's go all the way, let's go all the way
I want to get a little deep inside of you
I want to show you that it's real
Baby how I feel
I can't get you outta my mind
[Chorus]
Never(I never, never, never, never)
Never(I won't do it no more baby)
Never(yeah yeah yeah)

Baby I'm so into you
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
If I don't have you in my life
I won't never baby
I love you, I won't never say it never
Somebody out there know what we're talkin about
