Jacques
Jax Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ask me for my cigarette
Just so he can taste my lips and start to work me
Calculate his every step
Feel his hands around my hips, here comes the head tip
Kiss him in the French way (ooh la la la)
Professionally passionate, head to a private place
So I can reciprocate (ooh la la la)
Let me be an astronaut, locked in your airspace

Je m'appelle Jacques and I love you a lot
I'm with you tonight, but tomorrow I'm not
Je m'appelle Tove, get the show on the road
I'm down for one night, let's go (ooh la la la)

No talking now, pull on my waist (ooh la la la)
'Cause I want you doing bad things to me, to me (ooh la la la)
Always on top, I need a change (ooh la la la)
Come over, I just want your weight on me, on me (ooh la la la)

(Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)
I just want you on me (Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)
(Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)
(Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)
I just want you on me (Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)
(Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)

Yeah, I kinda like the view
On a mission to position myself right underneath you
Boy, that was good for me (ooh la la la)
I don't really do this, but hey, you wanna go again?

Je m'appelle Jacques and I love you a lot
I'm with you tonight, but tomorrow I'm not
Je m'appelle Tove, get the show on the road
I'm down for one night, let's go (ooh la la la)

No talking now, pull on my waist (ooh la la la)
'Cause I want you doing bad things to me, to me (ooh la la la)
Always on top, I need a change (ooh la la la)
Come over, I just want your weight on me, on me (ooh la la la)

(Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)
I just want you on me (Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)
(Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)
(Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)
I just want you on me (Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)
(Jacques, Jacques, Jacques)

(Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, just a little
Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, just a little
Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, just a little
Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me
Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me
Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me
Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me)

No talking now, pull on my waist
'Cause I want you doing bad things to me, to me
Always on top, I need a change
Come over, I just want your weight on me, on me

On me
I just want you on me (on me)
Oh yeah, want your loving on, on me




I just want you on me (on me)
Oh yeah, on me

Overall Meaning

In “Jacques,” Jax Jones tells a story of a sexual encounter between two individuals, Jacques and Tove. The song starts with Tove being approached by Jacques, who asks for a cigarette. Instead of smoking, Jacques uses the cigarette as an excuse to taste Tove's lips and starts to work on her. The lyrics suggest that the encounter is purely sexual and nothing more, with Tove reciprocating Jacques' actions.


As the song progresses, Tove continues to flirt with Jacques, calling him a professionaly passionate lover, kissing him in the French way and even becoming an astronaut locked in his airspace. The chorus, “Je m'appelle Jacques and I love you a lot, I'm with you tonight but tomorrow I'm not, Je m'appelle Tove, get the show on the road, I'm down for one night, let's go,” reinforces the idea that the encounter is just a one-night stand, with both parties aware that it won't lead to anything beyond that.


The song's title and Jacques' name provide a French feel to the song, which is further accentuated by the reference to the French kiss and the phrase “ooh la la la.” The lyrics are straightforward, with no hidden meanings or metaphors, and instead, focus on the physicality of the encounter. Overall, “Jacques” is a catchy and upbeat song that tells a story of a hot and steamy one-night stand.
