Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing, baby
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual healing baby, is good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you my baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's sexual healing

My fiancé is from New Orleans and introduced me to this group about 15 years ago and I have such great memories of this song and falling in love. I can't thank these guys enough.
@MistaMeowmers
The scene in Chef with this song has got to be my favorite scene from that movie. They just sing it so well, a lot of feeling (I know they're acting but still.)
@StevenWauford
Mista Meowmers I'll be honest, I'm pretty sure that Jon Favreau just turned on the camera at that point and said, "Let's do some silly stuff and embarass the kid", lol
@MistaMeowmers
Steven Wauford wouldn't be surprised haha
