Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My
My-y-y
Love-y-y-y-y
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love
Turn the lights off
Strike a candle
No one that I've ever
Knows how to handle
My body
The way you truly do
Insatiable's my name, when it comes to you
I got a Jones, Martha
Oh yeah, it be like this
(I can't have a hug) I can't have a hug (unless)
Unless I have a kiss, ooh
My body, baby, you truly do
Insatiable's my name when it comes to you
Like a wildcat, Martha, in a celibate rage
I want your love, in my dirty little cage
Can you understand, Martha?
Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo
My body, baby, you truly do
Insatiable's my name when it comes to you
Tonight we video
No one will ever know
We'll erase the naughty bits
I'll show my-
If you show your-
I can't help it, Martha
(Instatiable) I can't help what you do to me
You are
My every fantasy
There's no telling how far I'd go
'Cause when it comes to you, I know
I'm insatiable and I just can't stop
Even if I wasn't thirsty I would drink every drop
Please, baby, don't say no
'Cause I'll surely go
Crazy
Okay
So all you do, is push the little red button
And I belong to you
And your little video box
Hey, don't look at the clock, yeah
It's two forty-five
We got all night
First you gotta tell me what you want me to do
My body, baby, you truly do
Insatiable's my name when it comes to you
There's no tellin' how far I'd go (this is true)
'Cause when it comes to you, I know
I'm insatiable and I just can't stop
Even if I wasn't thirsty I would drink every drop
So take it slow baby, and let's unwind
Do you really want all my clothes off? (yes)
What are you gonna do to prove it then? (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Aren't you afraid we're gonna be found out?
Well, let's get on with the show
Turn the lights down low (lower)
Doesn't my body look good in the shadows?
Baby knows what to do
Have you done this before?
(I don't know)
You say you want my hips up in the air? (yeah)
I don't know, I don't care
Ooh, My body, baby, you truly do
I know I could be nasty with you
(Oh, oh , oh, oh, oh, oh, aah!)
Up and down, just like a seesaw (back and forth)
(Back and forth)
Listen (oh girl, I'm fallin') I love you, baby
I love you baby
You're mine
You're nastier than I thought
It's just two forty-nine
In "Insatiable," Prince poetically confesses his hunger and desire for his lover, using sensual language and provocative imagery. "Turn the lights off, strike a candle," he sings, setting the mood for a steamy encounter. He admits that no one else has ever been able to handle his body like his lover can. He also reveals that he's insatiable when it comes to them. He uses the name of the song to describe how insatiable he is.
Prince alludes to watching pornography with his lover, saying that they will "erase the naughty bits" on their video before watching it. He also references wanting to be locked up in a cage while his lover satisfies his carnal desires. Throughout the song, Prince uses language that's both sensual and borderline explicit to convey his strong attraction to his lover. He even asks his lover if they want all his clothes off and admits that he could be "nasty" with them.
The song's repetition of the word "insatiable" hints at the song's theme, which is Prince's insatiable hunger and desire for his lover. Moreover, the song's structure reflects how Prince's insatiable thirst cannot be quenched. The song has an extended running time of nearly ten minutes-long, which adds to the feeling of insatiability that he's conveying in the song.
