Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby
Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was a perverted thing to say
But I said it anyway
Made you smile and look away
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side
When we dance in my living room
To that silly '90s R&B
When we have a drink or three
Always ends in a hazy shower scene
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side
And we laugh into the microphone and sing
With our sunglasses on, to our favorite songs
And we're laughing in the microphone and singing
With our sunglasses on, to our favorite songs
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side
The lyrics to Cigarettes After Sex's song Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby convey a message of protection, love, and security. The song is a romantic plea for a loved one to trust and believe that nothing will harm them as long as they are together.

The second stanza describes moments of shared intimate pleasure with the loved one, dancing in the living room to a '90s R&B song and drinking together, and it is clear that the singer cherishes these moments.

Whispered something in your ear
I said something private to you
It was a perverted thing to say
The thing I said was inappropriate or vulgar
But I said it anyway
Despite knowing it was inappropriate, I still said it
Made you smile and look away
You reacted positively to what I said and glanced away shyly
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
I am committed to protecting you and keeping you safe
As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine
As long as we stay together, everything will be okay
Nothing's gonna take you from my side
I won't let anything separate us
When we dance in my living room
We enjoy each other's company in a casual setting
To that silly '90s R&B
We listen to nostalgic music from the 1990s
When we have a drink or three
We indulge in some alcohol together
Always ends in a hazy shower scene
Our nights together often lead to intimate moments in the shower
And we laugh into the microphone and sing
We have fun singing together and recording our voices
With our sunglasses on, to our favorite songs
We wear sunglasses and sing along to songs we both love
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
I am committed to protecting you and keeping you safe
Nothing's gonna take you from my side
I won't let anything separate us
And we're laughing in the microphone and singing
We continue to have fun singing and recording our voices

My wife passed two days ago. The day we met was the first day of our lives. She survived the worst emotional, psychological, physical, and sexual abuse and trauma imaginable.
We were both homeless when we met. Addicts. I hadn’t been able to afford anti-psychotics to treat my schizophrenia for nearly a decade. I didn’t live in this world, but built cities in my mind in which I could escape.
We were nothing without each other; together we were unstoppable. We kicked our substance abuse problems without even trying; and how not when, for the first time in our lives, we had nothing to escape? Decades of cities, walls, fortresses, and barricades I’d constructed in my mind to hide in were washed away the first day we met. Her smile, but especially her eyes, drowned out the deafening cacophony that had so relentlessly harried me.
Out of this indifferent world we carved out a modest corner to call our own. We wanted for nothing but time. We found our peace. When her PTSD was triggered, night terrors tore her from sleep; when the demons baying came for me we’d shut all the world out and sing to one another.
I almost always carried her through on “Hands Down” by The Greeting Committee. She would always sing “Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby” to me while, of course, proudly reminding the demons that they were nothing without me and that they couldn’t have me anymore, because I was possessed by an angel.
So now to save the money necessary to deliver her ashes to the Chesapeake Bay and the Redwoods that I may joyously quit this world for whatever place she’s waiting for me.

the song 4:46 = 286 sec.
286 x 1 000 000 = 286 000 000 seconds
286 000 000 sec = 74 444 444 hrs.
