Sexy girl
Sexy girl
Sexy girl

Can I please talk to you
I just love the way you shake your booty
{Girl, it drives me crazy}
Heaven knows you do, I'm in love with you
{Really, really crazy}
I completely break out my self control

Sexy girl
Sexy girl

Sexy girl, you're so fine
I just can't get you off my mind
Sexy girl, you're so fine

Please let me take you home
So that we can get much more familiar
{Baby, let me touch you}
Please baby, please, baby, baby, please
{Really, really touch}
Just a little touch would mean so much

Sexy girl, you're so fine
I just can't get you off my mind (Sexy girl)

Overall Meaning

Lillo Thomas's song "Sexy Girl" is a classic example of an 80s R&B hit that is all about romantic and sensual love. Throughout the song, the singer expresses his irresistible attraction to a woman who has caught his eye. He wants to talk to her and tells her he loves the way she shakes her booty. His affection for her is so strong that he has completely lost his self-control. The repetition of the phrase "sexy girl" emphasizes the singer's obsession with this woman, but it also frames his attraction within the wider societal framework of the hypersexualized 80s. Through his repetition of the phrase, the singer repeatedly reduces the woman to her physical appearance, suggesting that her worth to him is almost solely derived from her body.


In the second verse, the singer segues into a request to take the woman home so they can get more intimate. He begs her to let him touch her and emphasizes how much even a little touch would mean to him. This request is problematic, as it is made without regard for the woman's own desires or autonomy. The song is ultimately a product of its time, with all the biases and limitations that era entailed. Nonetheless, the song's melody and rhythm have held up over time, making it a classic of the 80s R&B genre.
