Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Start to sweat when I see you walk past
Legs are killing and my eyes
Wanna close them but they're open to wide
Pull my hair out, going mad
Have to wait though
I want you so bad
Gotta go now,Oh my God
Can I see you in the bedroom tonight?
Can I see you on the beach tonight?
Don't let your man know
When can I see you and not your ghost
You're never there when I'm needing you most
It's devestating , It's all too much
My minds exploading when I think of your touch
You've got the power over me
I'm only seeing what you want me to see
My heart is racing, I'm falling down
Gonna need resusicitating
Can I see you in the bathroom tonight?
You gonna let me make you feel good tonight
Don't let your man know
Can I see you in the bedroom tonight?
Can I see you on the beach tonight?
Can I see you in the bathroom tonight
Don't let your man know
Coxon Graham's song "Don't Let Your Man Know" is a song about a man who is highly attracted to a woman who is in a relationship. The song describes the intense emotions he feels when he sees her, such as getting paranoid and his heart beating faster. He goes on to describe how his desire for her is taking over his life and he cannot focus on anything else. He is willing to wait for her and is constantly thinking about when he will see her next.
The second verse of the song implies that the woman he desires is not fully present in their interactions, as she is often absent when he needs her most. Despite this, he is still consumed by his desire for her and imagines scenarios in which they are intimate, such as in the bedroom or bathroom. He pleads with her not to let her man know about their interactions, which implies that she is actively hiding something from him and possibly cheating.
Overall, the lyrics of the song highlight the intense emotions that come with being in a forbidden, secret relationship. It portrays the all-consuming desire that often comes with such relationships and the risk and secrecy that comes with it.
