Talk Dirty to Me
Reel Big Fish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I never
I've never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it

And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I've gotta have you
Oh yes, I do

I never, I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you, and I know you cannot wait
Await to see me too, I've gotta touch you

'Cause baby we'll be at the drive-in's
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes until I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement, lock the cellar door
And baby, talk dirty to me

You know I call you, I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home so I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly, I gotta hear you

'Cause baby we'll be at the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes until I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement, lock the cellar door
And baby, talk dirty to me

CC pick up that guitar and talk to me

'Cause baby we'll be at the drive-in's
In the old man's Ford
Behind them bushes till I'm screamin' for more, more, more
Down the basement, and lock the cellar door
And baby, talk dirty to me, yeah





And baby, talk dirty to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And baby, talk dirty to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Reel Big Fish's song Talk Dirty to Me describe a man's sexual desire for a woman he likes, regardless of her behavior or appearance. He admires her looks and enjoys the fact that she doesn't act the way she should. He wants her, and he knows she wants him too. The lyrics go on to describe a scenario where they go to the drive-in in an old man's Ford and engage in sexual activity behind the bushes or in the basement, and he asks her to "talk dirty" to him. Essentially, the song is about a man's fantasy of having sexual encounters with a woman who he finds attractive and intriguing.


Some may argue that the lyrics are objectifying or promote unhealthy sexual behavior, but the band has stated that they intended the song to be satirical and tongue-in-cheek. The lyrics are not meant to be taken seriously, and the band members have said that they wanted to comment on societal attitudes towards women and sex.
