Ferry Corsten Lyrics

Li da di
Li da di da di da li
Don't you know that when you touch me baby that it's torture
Brush up against me I get chills all down my spine
When you talk to me it's painful
You don't know what you do to this heart of mine, ehh
[Chorus]
Don't make this one dimensional
The way I feel is sexual
The way I feel is sexual
It can't be intellectual
The way I feel is sexual
The way I feel is sexual
When you're next to me
Li da di

Li da di da di da li
I confess I watch your mouth move baby when you're speaking
Study your body when you walk out of the room
You'll see how much you value my friendship
But I want you addicted to my perfume, ehh
[Chorus]
When you're next to me
Li da di

Li da di da di da li
Baby talk to me and let me kiss you
Let me show you the things I can do for you, eh

Don't make this one dimensional
The lyrics to Ferry Corsten's song "Sexual" are directed towards someone the singer is attracted to and the mixed feelings that come with wanting to be more than just friends. The repeating "Li da di" throughout the song could represent a sense of being lost or in a daze by the attraction to this person. The first verse describes how even the slightest touch from this person sends chills down their spine, which shows just how intense the attraction is. The chorus explains how the singer wants the relationship to be more than just intellectual; they want it to be sexual. This line alone illustrates the complexity of their emotions as the singer seems to desire a deeper connection with this person. In the second verse, the singer states that they study this person's body, indicating that their attraction is physical, and they want this person to be addicted to their perfume. The bridge gives an intimate advance, with the singer wanting to kiss and show this person what they can do for them.
Overall, the lyrics in "Sexual" capture the emotional and physical intensity of the singer's attraction to someone else. While they crave a deeper connection than friendship, the fear of it being one-dimensional is present throughout the track. However, this doesn't stop the singer from pushing their boundaries and making bold advances, as seen in the bridge.
