Terri Nunn & Berlin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sex
Feel the fire, feel my love inside you it's so right
There's the sound and the smell of love in my mind
I'm a toy, come and play with me, say the word now
Wrap your legs around mine and ride me tonight

I'm a man, I'm a goddess
I'm a man, well I'm a virgin
I'm a man, I'm a blue movie
I'm a man, I'm a bitch
I'm a man, I'm a geisha
I'm a man, I'm a little girl
And we make love together

Slip and slide in your wet delight, feel the blood flow
Not too fast, don't be slow, my love's in your hands

I'm a man, I'm a boy
I'm a man, well I'm your mother
Yes, I'm a man, I'm a one night stand
I'm a man, am I bi?
I'm a man, I'm a slave
I'm a man, I'm a little girl
And we make love together
And we make love together

Skin to skin, tongue to ooh, come on honey hold tight
Come inside, it's a passion play just for you
Let's get lost in that magic place all alone now
Drink your fill from my fountain of love, wet your lips

I'm a man, I'm a teaser
I'm a man, well I'm a virgin
I'm a man, I'm a one night stand
I'm a man, I'm a drug
I'm a man, well I'm your slave
I'm a man, I'm a dream divine
And we make love together

I'm a man, I'm a goddess
I'm a man, I'm a hooker
Yes, I'm a man, I'm a blue movie
You know I'm a man, I'm a slut
I'm a man, I'm babe
I'm a man, I'm a dream divine




And we make love together
And we'll make love forever

I’ve Thought about over the last couple of years and I now have a theory:

Al: Tipper, I've been telling you the world is going to end soon. I may have invented the internet, but I can't stop global warming. So what'dya say? A little play acting?

Tipper: Oh, Al. I love it when you talk apocalyptic. But can we invite Bill and Hillary?

Al: You know how I feel about business and pleasure, but Hillary does have it goin’ on, so why not?
5 minutes later:
Bill: Hey party people, heard there was a chance for some strange here, er, I mean, Al, Tipper, good evening.

Hillary: stoney silence

Al: Thanks for coming over. I’ll get right to it. I have some major [marital] security issues to discuss. It seems Tipper does indeed have naughty side, but it only get unleashed when we talk about end of days.

Bill: O.K. (bites his lower lip) . Tip, have you ever heard of Berllin? Not the German city, the American band.

Tipper: Well, yes, they were on my DNL (do not listen) list a few years back due their disgusti..

Bill: Tip, Tip (quick glance at Hillary, who now has steam pouring from her ears), I can tell you from A LOT of personal experience that Sex is the most natural, if not position of power induced, thing there is. Terri and co. may have made it sound shady as hell, but the girl that will give me the most infamous BJ in history was like 5 when that song came out. So, it’s all relative.

Tipper: Wow, you really do have a way with words.

Al: Did I mention that I predicted globa..

Tipper: Shut up, Al! You know, maybe I really should mind my own fucking business.

Bill: That’s a girl.

Hillary: @#$% men. It’s either this ass hat or some billionaire d-bag. In the end, it’s always some manboy fuckin’ up my game.

@roddmatsui3554

This is one of the essential 80s synth rock tracks. I think of the 1980s as a renaissance of music, so exploratory that you could turn on the radio and hear literally anything — so bizarre and creative were all the new bands, and this was coming right off the dynamic 70s themselves, artists seemed determined to stand out, and did whatever was necessary

@oddytoddy

I agree totally, also Pet Shop Boys is one of the most amazing bands that has spanned the charts since the 80's but isn't recognized as cool as they are.

@kidkique

Nowadays it's the opposite the musicians do everything they can to fit in

@seanbrown6812

@Todd Wages  Love ThePSB!! They really put dance music into another category using South American dance beats over Disco or House and symphonic music to carry the melody. That was unique! Take That Earasue!

@daveowens271

So true. Hard rock, Punk, New Wave, Pop, it was all there on display.

@jameslovett4184

Cheap rent and good coke …

@CookingWithMichaelD

Almost 40 years later and still the best song about sex ever

@AllDayDavis

False

@robertwilliams5352

@@AllDayDavis These "best of" things are pretty subjective. It is definitely one of them.
