Sexual Healing
Hot Chip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And my baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger

And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing, sexual healing
Oh baby, makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual healing is good for me
Sexual healing, it's something that's good for me

Whenever blue teardrops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up, 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

Get up, get up, get up, get up
Let's make love tonight
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
'Cause you do it right

Baby, I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby, I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising

And when I get that feeling, I want sexual healing
Sexual healing is good for me, makes me feel so fine
It's such a rush, helps to relieve the mind
And it's good for us, sexual healing
It's good for me, sexual healing is good for me

And it's so good for me
And it's so good to me, my baby

Oh, come take control, just grab a hold of my body and mind
Soon we'll be making it, oh we're doing fine
You're my medicine, open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great, I can't wait for you to operate

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up




Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
