Da Ya Think I'm Sexy
Garou Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on sugar let me know.
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on honey tell me so
Tell me so baby

He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on honey let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on honey tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know

His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last he's got this girl home
Relax baby now we are alone

They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other neither one's complaining
He say's I sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind sugar we can watch the early movie

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on honey tell me so

If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me
Just let me know
Just reach out and touch me
If you really want me
Just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know




If you, if you, if you really need me
Just come on and tell me so

Overall Meaning

The song "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" by Garou is about two people who gradually become infatuated with each other. In the first verse, the woman is waiting for suggestions and the man is trying to avoid answering her questions. Their nerves are palpable, and both of them are thinking the same thing. The chorus then comes in with the iconic line, "If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, come on sugar let me know." This line is repeated over and over, conveying the message that they are both thinking the same thing, but don't want to be the first one to say it. The second verse has the man finally making his move and inviting the woman to spend the night together. However, he stops before they go any further and asks for a dime to call his mother. This move seems absurd and adds a light-hearted touch to the song. They finally make it back to his apartment and everything falls into place. The song ends with a description of the morning after, with the two waking up happy and content, even though they are strangers.


The lyrics are simple, and the chorus is catchy, making it a favorite on dance floors around the world. The song's themes center around love, lust, and the thrill of the unknown, making it a classic for generations to come. The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, with each listener taking away their meaning. Some see the song as being about one night stands, while others interpret it as the start of a lasting relationship.
