The lyrics in Chantay Savage's song "Pillow Talk" describe a passionate encounter between two people who are familiar with each other. The singer is addressing their partner and expressing that they want to have an intimate night without any interruptions. They highlight the gentleness and sophistication that their partner embodies but notes that they want something more animalistic with them tonight. The singer implies that they crave pure physical desire and they want to be held by their partner. They do not wish for any cliche romanticisms, such as sitting by the fireplace or being engaged in hugs. The singer's message is clear: they want to be laid down by their partner and engage in some peaceful slumber after having a passionate night.

@tapiwamusekiwa501
One of the best R&B songs of all time . How this song is so slept on and underrated is beyond me 😢. Chantay Savage had one of the best and rare vocals in R&B. Man, they don’t make music like this anymore. Even in 2200 I’ll still be listening to this record .
