Explanations

WAITIN’= waiting

TENDER= someone or something that is tender, expresses gentle and caring feelings

I WONDER= I’m curious about it, I want to know

ON MY OWN= alone, without company

CALL ME= phone me

BEG= if you beg someone for something, you ask very seriously for it, usually because you are extremely unhappy and you really need it.

MY NUMBER= my telephone number

COZ= ‘cause, because

LOSIN’= losing

SLUMBER= sleep

ALL ALONE= is more emphatic than saying simply "alone". =Completely alone.

DARLIN’= darling, my love

ALL NIGHT LONG= all through the night, from the beginning of the night to the end. We can use this with any time expression (e.g. all day long, all year long, etc)

Meaning

A very simple unpretentious song with a catchy rhythm. That's the cute thing about it.
A girl has been alone for a long time, she needs love, maybe she's a bit or a lot desperate about it. One day she meets a boy, they have a good time together and she gives him her phone number in the hope that they can meet again and start a relationship. But he's not calling, not yet, or maybe she's so impatient that she can't wait, so she's telling him, "call me!"
