Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?
Revolting Cocks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She sits alone, waiting for suggestions.
He's so nervous, avoiding all the questions.
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding.
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy,
Come on, sugar, let me know.
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me.
Come on, honey, tell me so.

He's acting shy, looking for an answer.
Come on, honey, let's spend the night together.
Now, hold on a minute before we go much further.
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother.
They catch a cab to his high-rise apartment.
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant.

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy,
Come on, sugar, let me know.
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me.
Come on, honey, tell me so.

His heart's beating like a drum,
'Cause at last he's got this girl home.
Relax, baby. Now we're all alone.

They wake at dawn, 'cause all the birds are singing.
Two total strangers, but that ain't what they're thinking.
Outside it's cold, misty, and it's raining.
They got each other. Neither one's complaining.
He says, I'm sorry, but I'm out of milk and coffee.
Never mind, sugar. We can watch the early movie.

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy,
Come on, sugar, let me know.




If you really need me, just reach out and touch me.
Come on, honey, tell me so.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Revolting Cocks' song "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" paint a picture of two people who are nervous and unsure of each other, but are drawn to one another. The woman sits alone, waiting for suggestions, while the man is too nervous to ask her any questions. However, it is clear that both of them are thinking the same thing. The lyrics then take a turn as the man gathers the courage to be more open with the woman, asking her if she wants his body and if she thinks he's sexy. The pair then go back to his apartment and spend the night together, waking up the next morning as two strangers, but both happy with the previous night's events. The song ends on a lighthearted note, with the man apologizing for not having any milk and coffee, but they are content to watch an early movie together.


The song is an interpretation of Rod Stewart's classic hit "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" released in 1978. Stewart's original lyrics were seen as playful and flirtatious, but Revolting Cocks' take on it is much darker and more cynical. The lyrics are meant to show the objectification of women and how men often only see women as objects for their own pleasure. Despite this interpretation, the song is still considered a dance classic and is often played in clubs.

I remember buying this album on cassette tape and the owner of the record shop saying to me how underrated this album was. So true.

@S.B.Hermione

They were so good!!

@918kickinwing

Lmao. Nice. I felt the same about NOFX and was met with the same sort of vibe from the cashier. You probably got some good music stories.

@missmissregisterhit-kv6bg

Agreed. Indisputably underrated.

@missmissregisterhit-kv6bg

@John Shelton EXACTLY!!!
You get it. 👍
That is what makes this song SO brilliant. It elegantly😉 exposes the original for the kind of a gross pile of major record label 💩 it actually is.
