On the Way
C.M. Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's always undercover
And I talk 'til my daddy say
Said you ain't seen, nothin'
Til you're down on the muffin
And there's sure to be a change in ways
Now there's a cheer, leader
That's a real big, pleaser
But the best thing, love it
Was her sister and her, cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this
She starts, swingin'
With the boys in, tune
And her feet just fly up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
And they swingin' like it just don't care
So I took a big, chance
At the high school, dance
With a lady who was ready to play
It wasn't me she was, foolin
'Cause she knew what was she was, doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Well just gimme a kiss!
Ooh, a-like this!
School girl, sleazy
With a, classy kind of sassy
Little skirt hangin' way up her knee
There were three young ladies
In the school gym, locker
And they find they were lookin' D
I was high school, loser
Never made it with a, lady
Til a boy told me somethin' I missed
That my next door, neighbor
Had a daughter, had a favor
And I gave the girl a little kiss, like this
She starts swingin' with the boys in the school
With her feet flyin' up in the air
Singing hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
I was swingin' like I didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a miss who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Well just gimme some head!

The lyrics of C.M. Jones's song "On the Way" tell the story of a young man's sexual escapades and adventures. The singer starts by describing a "backseat lover" who is always undercover, insinuating that the tryst is secretive and taboo. He talks about getting "down on the muffin," which is a slang term for oral sex, making it clear that he is not a stranger to this type of activity. The next stanza describes a cheerleader who is a "real big pleaser," but the singer reveals that he's more interested in her sister and cousin, insinuating that he's had relations with multiple members of this family.
The chorus then comes in with the famous lyrics "Walk this way, talk this way," which the singer attributes to a woman who showed him how to move and act in a certain way. The lyrics are sexual in nature, as she tells him what to do, insinuating that he is being taught how to please her. The last stanza tells the story of a schoolgirl who is "sleazy with a classy kind of sassy," implying that she may be promiscuous but also confident in herself. The singer shares a story of kissing her, and then swinging with her and others in the school gym with the freedom and abandon of young people.
The lyrics of "On the Way" are sexually charged and arguably objectify women as objects of desire. The song is reminiscent of the rock and roll culture of the 70s and 80s, where sexual freedom was celebrated and explicit content was common in music. It also has a rebellious undertone, with the singer defying norms and traditions, taking chances and risks to experience new things with different partners.

Now there's a backseat, lover
There is someone hiding in the backseat who is my lover
That's always undercover
But we try to keep it a secret
And I talk 'til my daddy say
I talk a lot until my dad gets annoyed
Said you ain't seen, nothin'
My dad said I haven't seen anything yet
Til you're down on the muffin
Until I have experienced something more intense
And there's sure to be a change in ways
And my behavior is sure to change as a result
Now there's a cheer, leader
There is a girl who is a cheerleader
That's a real big, pleaser
Who is very good at satisfying others
As far as I can reminisce
As far as I can remember
But the best thing, love it
But the thing I loved the most
Was her sister and her, cousin
Was actually her sister and cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this
And it all started with a small kiss, just like this
She starts, swingin'
She starts to dance and move her body
With the boys in, tune
In sync with the boys
And her feet just fly up in the air
And she jumps and moves her feet in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
Singing a silly song with a cat in the middle
And they swingin' like it just don't care
And they are dancing as if nothing else matters
So I took a big, chance
So I took a big risk
At the high school, dance
At the school dance
With a lady who was ready to play
With a girl who was looking to have some fun
It wasn't me she was, foolin
She wasn't tricking me
'Cause she knew what was she was, doin'
Because she knew what she was doing
When she told me how to walk this way
When she showed me how to walk like this
She told me to
She instructed me to
Well just gimme a kiss!
Just give me a kiss
Ooh, a-like this!
Just like this
School girl, sleazy
A student who is somewhat promiscuous
With a, classy kind of sassy
But still exudes a confident and attractive attitude
Little skirt hangin' way up her knee
Wearing a skirt that is quite short
There were three young ladies
There were three young girls
In the school gym, locker
In the school gym locker room
And they find they were lookin' D
And they found out they were compared and judged
I was high school, loser
I was a loser in high school
Never made it with a, lady
Never had a chance with a girl
Til a boy told me somethin' I missed
Until a boy told me something I didn't know
That my next door, neighbor
That my neighbor who lived next door
Had a daughter, had a favor
Had a daughter who was willing to do a favor for me
And I gave the girl a little kiss, like this
So I kissed the girl a little, just like this
Wasn't me she was foolin'
She wasn't tricking me
When she told me how to walk this way
When she showed me how to walk like this
Well just gimme some head!
Just give me some oral sex
