Pretty Baby with the blue Jeans on
The person addressed as "Pretty Baby" is wearing blue jeans.
You've been starin' at me all night long
Someone has been staring at the speaker throughout the night.
I know you want it and you know it's wrong
There's a mutual awareness of desire, though it's considered wrong.
But you don't worry about a thing, do ya
The person being addressed seems unconcerned or carefree about the situation.
I feel you sweating me from over there
The speaker feels the intensity of someone's attention from a distance.
I see this girl you're with but you don't care
There's another girl with the person, but their attention is solely on the speaker.
Acting like I'm shy but Boy you best beware

I can light your match and start a fire in here

I know you need it
-And how I'm feeling

Strike the match strike strike your match
-I know you want it

-Strike the match strike strike your...
-Now I don't mind if we Doecee Doe

But I ain't tryin to take it out that door

You gotta tell your girl to leave
Directly addressing the need for the person's accompanying girl to leave.
Don't mean to interrupt a perfect date

Reiteration of the strong desire to ignite a spark between them.
I know you need it
