Seduction
Manda and the Marbles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

step one
she's gonna find her something to wear
that will blow them all away
and make all the girls glare

step two
she's gonna give it all that she's got
and make sure he's standing in the right spot
when she brushes up against
his black leather jacket
she'l be makin' her move that just says she has it

seduction
i wanna touch him
seduction


i wanna touch me

step three
just when she thinks she's caught his eye
she'll quickly look away at some other guy
she can't be too easy
can't be too quick
half of the fun is playin' hard to get

step four
just when she thinks he's had enough
she takes one more look she can't get enough




she brushes her hair with her bright colored nails
look out boys this girl never fails

Overall Meaning

The song "Seduction" by Manda and the Marbles is a catchy and provocative tune about a woman who is determined to seduce a man. This woman is portrayed as confident and alluring, with a clear plan in mind as she follows four steps to achieve her goal. In step one, she prepares herself by choosing an outfit that will catch everyone's attention and make the other girls jealous. In step two, she approaches her target and makes her move by brushing up against him, hoping to convey her confidence and appeal. The chorus of the song states her desire: "Seduction, I wanna touch him, seduction, I wanna touch me."


In step three, she plays hard to get, avoiding direct eye contact and turning her attention to other men. She wants to keep him on his toes, not too eager to make it too obvious that she is interested. Finally, in step four, she seals the deal by giving in just a little bit, taking one more look before walking away. She leaves him wanting more and gives him a glimpse of what he could have if he plays his cards right.


Overall, the song is a celebration of female empowerment and sexuality. The woman in the song is not portrayed as a victim, but rather as an active and confident participant in her own seduction. The lyrics are playful and cheeky, but also convey a sense of power and control that is refreshing in a genre often criticized for its objectification of women.
