Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pagan baby, won't you walk with me?
Pagan baby, come on home with me.
Pagan baby, take me for a ride.
Roll me, baby, roll your big, brown eyes.

Yeah! ooh! ooh!

Pagan baby, let me make your name.
Drive it, baby, drive your big love game.
Pagan baby, what you got, I need.

Don't be savin', spread your love on me.

Aah! mm-mm-mm!

Pagan baby, now won't you rock with me?
Pagan baby, lay your love on me.

Yeah, yeah!
Aah! hey, hey!





Aah! hey! yeah!
Hey! hey! haaaaaaay!
