Talk Dirty To Me
Children of Bodom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do
You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you
'Cause baby well be
At the drive-in
In old man?s ford
Behind the bushes
'Till I hear you screamin' for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me
You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you
'Cause baby well be
At the drive-in
In grandma?s wheelchair
Behind the bushes
'Till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

At the drive-in
Meet at the drive-in movie theater
In old man's ford
In an old car belonging to an old man
Behind the bushes
In a spot not easily seen from the road
'Till I hear you screamin' for more
Until I hear you begging for more pleasure
Down the basement
In the basement of a building
Lock the cellar door
Securely lock the door to avoid any interruptions
And baby

Speak to me in a sensual and erotic manner

When you speak those special words of love to me
And whisper so softly
And say those words with a gentle tone
I gotta hear you
I must listen to you

Because we are going to
At the drive-in
Meet at the drive-in movie theater
In grandma's wheelchair
In an old wheelchair belonging to grandmother
Behind the bushes
In a spot not easily seen from the road

Until I beg for more of your sensual touch
Down the basement
In the basement of a building
Lock the cellar door
Securely lock the door to avoid any interruptions
And baby
And my love
Talk dirty to me
Speak to me in a sensual and erotic manner
