The lyrics express the singer's wish to have the person he's interested in all to himself, away from the constant stares of everyone else. The repetition of the phrase "give it up" throughout the song serves as a plea from the singer for the person he's interested in to give him a chance and to reciprocate his love. The use of the phrases "Can I touchy" and "Come on and play the game of love" add to the sexual nature of the song.
