Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't come to bring you down
This is so natural baby
Just let my love turn you around
This twisted love affair
Could really take us somewhere
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois
I won't take long to understand
Don't waste time arguing
We'll make the most with what's at hand
I have to laugh out loud
When you say three's a crowd
I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am
I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am, I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am, I am what I am
Don't think that I'm uncouth, I only speak the truth
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois

The line "Don't you feel guilty baby, I won't take long to understand" suggests that there might be some internal conflict or moral struggle happening within the partner being propositioned. Meanwhile, the line "Don't you be nervous baby, I didn't come to bring you down" tries to alleviate any fears or apprehensions that the partner might have.

@inkydoug
..and when Joans' lesbian phase runs it course,you'll be all set! Rock on.
@Prof_Tickles92
inkydoug I honestly dont think she is a lesbian. But Bisexual. She has stated her sexuality is in her music and none of her songs are lesbian but "all inclusive" if you know what I mean. Plus if you can find it there is a vid on her of her flirting with a stage crew member between songs, who was a guy.

+Eric Edward Guys, please. She was a goddess in the 80s, but that was 30 years ago. If only we could all be 30 forever...
