In short, the tune is the ultimate ode to sexual frustration. The girl keeps putting him off and the tension builds. Definitely some drug stuff going on, too. George often referred to cocaine and 'dimes' seems to be one of his names for it. 'Don't want no speedballs' is also a drug reference indicating the protagonist prefers cocaine without concurrent heroin use. I'm pretty sure he deals it and Juanita is a prostitute. Best line: "All I want in this life and time is some hit and run!"
