I think all the 'em's in the lyrics should be 'im's, short for "him," not "them."
A very attractive young student is going to get into a car with a boy and tease him but "stop him in the nick of time." The singer suggests that she take things further because it won't last very long and it'll give him something to dream of later. Sounds more rapey nowadays than it did in the Seventies. The album was titled "Stealin' Home" which has overtones that are very rapey, but with deniable plausibility.
This was later used in the movie "Little Darlings" which is squarely about teens' first sexual experiences, but the song was released two years before the movie.
