This song came to mind today and I didn't understand why, which is why I went looking here. I didn't find an explanation in the lyrics nor other interpretations. Is the song about a pervert? Creep? Child abuse? And if it were, how would it have been such a popular song?
A couple hours later I realized what it's really about: loneliness. The emotional core of the song is the bridge. It's presenting us with the context - the truth - underneath the content. Which as is so often the case in life, distracts us with obfuscating details.
