As soon as I saw the song title I knew it was going to be written by Jim Steinman.
There is something about Jim Steinman's songs, his lyrics in particular, that annoys me intensely, and stops me from being able to appreciate any of his or Meat Loaf's music to any degree. the best adjective I can think of for them is "smartarse". He seems to have hit on a formula combining the troubles of young lovers, or rather the troubles that young lovers are supposed to have, with a carefully mixed in dose of double meanings and innuendos. It's almost what I would expect a computer program to come up with if programmed to create lyrics that maximised the likelihood of a hit.
Did I remember to mention that I dislike jim Steinman intensely?
