Erotica
Madonna琀 Lyrics

Erotica, romance
The song is about exploring themes of erotica and romance

My name is Dita
The persona in the song introduces herself as a mistress named Dita

I'll be your mistress tonight
Dita offers to take charge and be in control of the romantic encounter

I'd like to put you in a trance
Dita expresses her desire to mesmerize and seduce her partner

If I take you from behind
Dita describes her plan to take her partner from a position where they are not expecting her advances

Push myself into your mind
Dita intends to dominate her partner's thoughts and fantasies

When you least expect it
Dita wants to surprise her partner with erotic pleasure

Will you try and reject it
Dita asks her partner if they will resist her advances

If I'm in charge and I treat you like a child
Dita intends to lead and control the romantic encounter like a caretaker

Will you let yourself go wild
Dita wants to know if her partner will allow themselves to fully embrace the erotic experience

Let my mouth go where it wants to
Dita desires to explore her partner's body with her mouth

Give it up, do as I say
Dita demands submission from her partner

I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck
Dita promises intense and passionate love-making

I'd like to put you in a trance, all over
Dita reiterates her desire to captivate and enamor her partner completely

Once you put your hand in the flame
Dita suggests that indulging in eroticism may come with a measure of pain

You can never be the same
Dita implies that indulging in eroticism can be transformative and have long-lasting effects

There's a certain satisfaction
Dita acknowledges the pleasure derived from a little bit of pain

In a little bit of pain
Dita reiterates the idea that a small measure of pain can add to the enjoyment

I can see you understand
Dita believes that her partner shares her desires

I can tell that you're the same
Dita senses that her partner has similar desires and inclination towards eroticism

If you're afraid, well rise above
Dita encourages her partner to overcome their fears and embrace the erotic experience

I only hurt the ones I love
Dita suggests that her partner only experiences pain because they are loved by her and she seeks to pleasure them

Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body
Dita repeats her desire to be touched by her partner all over her body

I don't think you know what pain is
Dita implies that pain is subjective and can only be truly understood by experiencing it

I don't think you've gone that way
Dita suggests that her partner is not well-versed in the world of eroticism and pain

I could bring you so much pleasure
Dita believes that she can provide immense pleasure to her partner

I'll come to you when you say
Dita assures her partner that she is willing to be summoned whenever they desire her

I know you want me
Dita believes that her partner desires her, and she is willing to fulfill their desires

I'm not gonna hurt you
Dita assures her partner that she will only cause pain within their mutually agreed boundaries and pleasure

Just close your eyes
Dita implores her partner to trust her and allow her to fulfill their desires

Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better
Dita believes that she can provide pleasure and healing through the pain she causes

Only the one that inflicts pain can take it away
Dita suggests that only through experiencing the pain of eroticism can one truly appreciate and enjoy it

I like to do a different kind of
Dita teases that she prefers a unique and unconventional type of eroticism
