nasty
Sophie Cates Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Goddamn
I'm beautiful
I wanna kiss your neck
In the bathroom stall
And it's so
Unusual
For me to act this bold
It's not like me at all

But I want you to touch me
Baby, I just wanna be nasty
And I want you up on me
I had a dream about it just last week
And I've been so lonely
I'm not usually forward with these things
But if you wanna have me
Then, baby, I just wanna be nasty

Standing in the hall of the bar
I like the way you walk
I thought, "I gotta know who you are"
I wanna hear you dirty talk
I want you to whisper, come on, make me shiver
Making me feel perfect
I could go in and that's exactly why

I want you to touch me
Baby, I just wanna be nasty
And I want you up on me
I had a dream about it just last week
And I've been so lonely
I'm not usually forward with these things
But if you wanna have me
Then, baby, I just wanna be nasty

I want you to touch me (touch me)
Baby, I just wanna be nasty (baby, I just wanna be nasty)
And I want you up on me
I had a dream about it just last week
And I've been so lonely
I'm not usually forward with these things
But if you wanna have me
Then, baby, I just wanna be nasty

Goddamn, I'm beautiful, I wanna kiss your neck in the bathroom stall

And I've been so lonely, I'm not usually forward with these things
