Glee Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Artie:
You know you, you make me feel so good inside. I always wanted a girl just like you, such a P.Y.T.—pretty young thing, ooh...

Where did you come from, baby?
And ooh, won't you take me there right away, won't you, baby?
Tendoroni, you've got to be
Spark my nature, sugar, fly with me
Don't you know now is the perfect time?
We can make it right, hit the city lights
Then tonight, ease the lovin' pain
Let me take you to the max

I want to love you (P.Y.T.), pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.), tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there
I want to love you (P.Y.T.), pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.), tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there

(Anywhere you wanna go)
Yes, I will, ooh...

Nothin' can stop this burnin' desire to be with you
Gotta get to you, baby
Won't you come? It's emergency
Cool my fire yearnin', honey, come set me free

But don't you know now is the perfect time?
We can dim the lights just to make it right
In the night, hit the lovin' spot
I'll give you all that I got

I want to love you (P.Y.T.), pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.), tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there, yes I will
I want to love you (P.Y.T.), pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.), tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there

Pretty young thing
You make me sing
Pretty young thing
You make me sing

Pretty young things, repeat after me
Say, na na na (Na na na)
Na na na na (Na na na na)
I say, na na na (Na na na)
Na na na na na (Na na na na na)
Ohh, take you there, take you there

I want to love you (P.Y.T.), pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.), tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there, take you there, take you there
I want to love you (P.Y.T.), pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.), tender lovin' care




And I'll take you there, take you there, ooh
(Ad-lib fade out)

Overall Meaning

Artie sings the opening lyrics, expressing how the girl makes him feel good inside and that he's always wanted someone like her. He wants to take her out and show her a good time, emphasizing that the time is perfect for them to be together and make it right. As the chorus progresses, he assures the girl that he can provide the care and attention she needs.


The song's chorus is catchy, repetitive, and danceable, with the lyrics "I want to love you (P.Y.T.), pretty young thing, You need some lovin' (T.L.C.), tender lovin' care, And I'll take you there," making it an instant hit. It's upbeat, with fast-paced music that makes you want to dance, and the vocals are clear and expressive.
