We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off
Robin Schulz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just took for granted that I want to skinny dip
A quick hit, that's your game
But I'm not a piece of meat, stimulate my brain
The night is young, so are we
Let's get to know each other, slow easily
Take my hand, let's hit the floor
Shake our bodies to the music
So come on baby, won't you show some class
Why do you have to move so fast?
We don't have to take our clothes off
To have a good time
Oh no
We could dance party all night
And drink some cherry wine
Uh huh
Just slow down if you want me
A man wants to be approached cool romantically
I've got needs
Just like you
If the conversations good
Vibrations through through
So come on baby, won't you show some class
Why do you have to move so fast?
We don't have to take our clothes off
To have a good time
Oh no
We could dance party all night
And drink some cherry wine
We don't have to take our clothes off
We don't have to take our clothes off
To have a good time
Oh no
We could dance party all night
And drink some cherry wine
The lyrics of Robin Schulz's song "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off" speak to a woman who is being pressured to engage in sexual activity by a man. The woman in question is the one narrating the song, and she is rejecting the man's advances. She does not appreciate the way that he treats her like a piece of meat, showing no regard for her feelings or desires beyond her body. She wants to take her time getting to know him, to find a connection between them that goes beyond mere physical attraction. She suggests that they just dance together and enjoy each other's company, without taking their clothes off.
The woman's lyrics are a plea for the man to treat her with more respect and to recognize that she is a person with her own thoughts, feelings, and desires. She does not want to be treated as though she exists solely for his pleasure, and she wants him to see her as a person he could potentially have a meaningful relationship with. The song is a reminder that good relationships take time to develop, and that pushing someone into sex before they're ready is not a good way to lay the foundation for a healthy connection.
