| found at songfacts.com the song is about casual sex, something David Lee Roth was known for. He had the roadies give out back stage passes to beautiful women at Van Halen's concerts. There was a $100 reward if the roadie sent one back he slept with. | |

End of story. thank you hate. this song is brilliant, and i completely understand why the person who put up the lyrics felt the need to use caps lock. listen to the song and you'll understand. the guitar solo blows me away... | |

| this song probably has different contexts(casual sex), but it could also be told from a pimps viewpoint. looking at a young runaway/drug addict etc | |

| I personally found this song to mean- I'll be your friend but nothing more. "You know you're semi-good lookin', and on the streets again Oh yeah you think you're really cookin' baby, you better find yourself a friend My friend, ain't talkin' 'bout love " In my opinion, I see this as him saying a lot of guys will be drooling after her, and it'd be nice to have one that isn't trying anything funny. But you guys are probably right, it probably is casual sex. | |

| sonic, that is a really dweebish interpretation. This song has attitude, note the tone, he is not interested in being her friend. | |
