Only Freddie Mercury knows for sure what the song is about.
It sounds like it's about a forbidden relationship full of debauchery but there is an element of Godliness even though the nature of the relations are lascivious.
This verse is about the Godliness:
A voice from behind me reminds me
Spread out your wings you are an angel
Remember to deliver with the speed of light
A little bit of love and joy
Everything you do bears a will
And a why and a wherefore
A little bit of love and joy
In each and every soul lies a man
And very soon he'll deceive and discover
But even to the end of his life
He'll bring a little love."
The rest of the song is all about the debauchery and darkness.
