In this energetic and iconic track, Van Halen encapsulates the intense and overwhelming emotions associated with infatuation. The lyrics convey a sense of being completely captivated and disoriented by the presence of a significant other. The repeated lines "You got me, so I don't know what I'm doin'" and "I can't sleep at night" highlight the pervasive impact of this romantic fixation, suggesting a loss of control and an all-consuming preoccupation. The plea to "please, don't ever let me be" underscores a desire for perpetual closeness and emotional dependence on the beloved. Overall, the song reflects the exhilarating yet destabilizing nature of passionate attraction, capturing both its allure and its capacity to unsettle one's sense of self.
