Bell Biv DeVoe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me, do you like what you see?
Do you think you can
Do you think you can do me?
Kiss me, pretty baby
Touch me all over
Girl, what makes you think you can do me
Do me, baby (ho, ooh)
Do me, baby (do you think you can?)
Do me, baby (do me)
Do me, baby
Girl, let your hair down
Take off your clothes and leave on your shoes
Would you mind if I looked at you for a moment?
Before I make sweet love
Backstage, underage, adolescent
How ya doin', fine, she replied
I sighed, I like to do the wild thing
Action took place
Kinda wet, don't forget
The J, the I, the M, the M, the Y, why'all
I need a body bag
Do me, baby (oh, oh, oh)
Do me, baby (you can do me when you want to do me)
Do me, baby (yeah, yeah)
Do me, baby (mmm, ho, ho, ooh, yeah)
Do me, baby (I like it in the morning time, yeah)
Do me, baby (sometimes I love it in the evening, baby, yeah)
Do me, baby (can you do me all over, girl, yeah, yeah)
Do me, baby
The time was six o'clock on the Swatch watch
No time to chill, got a date, can't be late
Hey, the girl is gonna do me
Move to the Jacuzzi, ooh, that booty
Smack it up, flip it, rub it down, oh, no
Do me, baby (yeah)
Do me, baby (oh, baby, I like it just like that)
Do me, baby (and I love the way you do it to me, baby, yeah)
Do me, baby (oh, move just a little bit closer)
You can do me in the morning
You can do me in the night
You can do me when you want to do me
You can do me in the morning
You can do me in the night
You can do me when you want to do me
Oh, come on and sweat me
Will you just take a little bit, yeah?
That's the way I like it, baby
Come on over here
Let me caress your beautiful body
Kiss you from head to toe
I'll make you sweat, yeah
We're gonna train up in here all the way
Nine to five, baby
You just sweat, baby
That's the way I like to do it
Run you all over with some hot oil
And just watch your body shine
I just want to
I just want to lay your beautiful body down by the fireplace, baby
And make love to you all, all night
Oh, yeah
I love you, baby, yeah
Oh, ho
Oh, yeah
The lyrics to Bell Biv DeVoe's "Do Me!" have strong sexual undertones throughout. In the opening lines, the singer asks the potential partner to observe and judge their physicality before inquiring whether they think they can sexually satisfy him. The next verse contains explicit commands for physical affection, with the singer stating that he wants the woman to undress and expose herself to him. The bridge goes on to describe a past sexual encounter with a younger woman, highlighting the singer's history of sexual activity. The chorus is an explicit request for the woman to "do him" sexually, with the singer requesting sex at any time of the day or night. The final verse moves away from pure sexuality, as the singer describes a romantic fantasy of making love by the fireplace, showing his desire for not only physical but also emotional intimacy.
The lyrics to "Do Me!" can be interpreted as both empowering and objectifying for women. On the one hand, the woman has agency to decide whether she wants to engage in sex with the singer, and the enthusiastic language suggests that she will enjoy herself. On the other hand, the lyrics depict the female body as an object of desire, with the singer repeatedly emphasizing his desire to "do" the woman. Additionally, the mention of an underage girl in the bridge raises concerns about the age and power dynamics in some of the singer's past sexual encounters.
