It's amazing how many high-minded sophisticated interpretations people will come up with for songs that are just plain and simple about sex.
Ric/narrator is dating a woman that is only interested in giving and receiving manual sex. She likes to give Ric/narrator handjobs and he fingers her. Ric/narrator is unsure about this because he'd like to have vaginal sex too and also actually develop the relationship further (neither of which she is interested in), but on the other hand, he's so attracted to this lady, and she does in fact get him off. He's unsure what to do. But, that's where they're at - he comes over, fingers her, she gives him a handjob, and then asks him to leave, e.g. [at] "midnight then you said it's touch and go..."
This isn't rocket science, folks. What the heck do you think "touched your star" - "headlock on the floor" and "with me it's TOUCH and go" mean? Holy cow.
Also: It's "Oh oh I touched your star." not "Uh oh I touched your star." Source: I literally own the record and all Cars albums have the lyrics included.
