Electric Intercourse
Prince Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel some kind of love for you
And I don't even know your name
This is the kind of love that takes two
I want you and I'm not ashamed

'Cause baby, you shock my wild
With a sexual electricity extraordinaire
Come and take advantage, undress me
I don't even know you, I don't even care

I feel some kind of sexual current
Tell me do you feel it too?
Our bodies want to be together
Girl, I wanna be with you

Electric is my body, baby
I will shock you with my lips
Darling, don't you know
Your Technicolor climax is at my fingertips

Electric intercourse, electric intercourse
Don't you wanna?
Electric intercourse, electric intercourse
Don't you wanna make love, love, love?

Electric is my body, baby
I will shock you with my lips
Darling, don't you know
Your Technicolor climax is at my fingertips

Electric intercourse
Don't you wanna?
Electric intercourse, electric intercourse
Don't you wanna make love?
Don't you wanna make?

Electric intercourse, electric intercourse
Don't you wanna?
Electric intercourse, electric intercourse




Don't you want to make love?
Yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Prince's song "Electric Intercourse" suggest a feeling of intense attraction and desire towards someone without even knowing their name. The singer feels a "sexual current" between himself and the girl he wants to be with. He asks her to come and "take advantage" of him, as the desire is so strong that he doesn't even care about her identity.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of electricity and shock, which suggests both the dangerous and intoxicating nature of this desire. Prince's lyrics touch upon the physical aspect of sexuality, as his electrified body and lips promise to bring the girl to a "Technicolor climax." The lyrics imply that both parties are willing to surrender to the intense, electric attraction that they feel towards each other.


One possible interpretation of the song is that Prince is describing the nature of lust and attraction, which can feel overwhelming and all-consuming. The lyrics suggest that sometimes, the desire for physical union can be so strong that it overrides any rational thinking or emotional attachment to the other person.
