Orlando conceived the idea for The Flirts, wrote the songs, played the instruments, and produced the tracks. He then auditioned girls to be the face of the group. Orlando often called in the services of professional session singers to sing the vocals for the tracks because most of the performers were trained as dancers, models, or actresses. The Flirts went through numerous lineup changes and with every album release and tour, some girls left the group while others stayed. The Flirts released six studio albums from 1982–1992 and assorted singles. They made several international tours in the 1980s, often in the club circuit, and would usually lip-synch or sing alongside the recordings.
Bobby discovered and produced the Pet Shop Boys. The Flirts' 1982 song Passion was cited by Pet Shop Boys' Chris Lowe as a primary reason for the band's formation.
All You Ever Think About Is Sex
The Flirts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Young virgins have become
Restless nymphomaniacs
Mom and pop are a thing of the past
Like G rated movies
Well, we're not gonna take it
We're not giving in
I'm thinking of love and family
My boyfriend is too physical
He's getting me upset
(You only think of sex) touchy feely Romeo
He's getting me distressed
(You only think of sex)
Guys like you will never give
A girl like mе respect
All you evеr think about, think about is sex
You get yourself excited just by
Looking at a dress
All you ever think about, think about is sex
You have a one-track mind
That's not like mine this I do confess
(You only think of sex)
Listen to me, baby, please
I have a small request
(You only think of sex)
Don't you ever watch TV or study for a test?
All you ever think about, think about is sex
It's way too deep 'cause minds like
Yours are really too complex
All you ever think about, think about is sex
Does S-E-X really equal L-U-V?
Well, does it?
Well, I guess he really loves me
(He loves me, he loves me not)
(He loves me, he loves me not) Ha ha
I know he really loves me
(He loves me, he loves me not)
(He loves me, he loves me not)
(He loves me, he loves me not) I know
(Of course he loves me)
My boyfriend is too physical
It's getting me upset you only think of sex
Every now and then, you know
You put me to the test you only think of sex
You get yourself excited just by
Looking at a dress
All you ever think about, think about is sex
You're complicating matters and you make
Our life a mess
All you ever think about, think about is sex
It really isn't what I want
You're acting like a pest
All you ever think about, think about is sex
All this physical reaction is
Just getting me depressed
All you ever think about, think about is sex
Can't you love me for my
Mind? This I must request
All you ever think about, think about is sex
The Flirts' All You Ever Think About Is Sex features lyrics that are straightforward about a partner's overemphasis on sex. This becomes apparent in the opening lines, where the song describes how virtue has become vice and young virgins have become restless nymphomaniacs. It further highlights how sex has taken over society, where "mom and pop are a thing of the past, and G rated movies have gone."
The song's perspective changes in its chorus, which shows a female lead who is seeking intimacy and love from her partner, yet he is obsessed with sex. She complains that her boyfriend is "too physical," and gets "upset," "distressed" and "depressed" because "all he ever thinks about is sex." She accuses him of having a "one-track mind," and asks him to change his focus.
The lyrics also ponder the question of whether "S-E-X really equal L-U-V.". The chorus indicates that sex is getting in the way of building a loving relationship. The overall message of the song is that a relationship is more about love and intimacy than just sex.

All you ever think about, think about is sex
You are single-mindedly focused on sexual desires
You get yourself excited just by looking at a dress

You are unable to think about anything other than sex
That's not like mine this I do confess (You only think of sex)
Our thought patterns are different, and I admit that you only think about sex
Listen to me, baby, please, I have a small request (You only think of sex)
Please listen to me, I have a small favor to ask, despite your overwhelming focus on sex
Don't you ever watch TV or study for a test?
Do you ever engage in activities that don't involve sex?
It's way too deep 'cause minds like yours are really too complex
Your obsession with sex is so profound that it goes beyond simple desire and has become entrenched in your psyche
Does S-E-X really equal L-U-V?
Is sex really the same as love?
Well, does it?
Is sex equivalent to love or not?
Well, I guess he really loves me (He loves me, he loves me not)
I am unsure if my partner really loves me or if he just wants sex
I know he really loves me (He loves me, he loves me not)
Despite my doubts, I am convinced that my partner truly loves me
My boyfriend is too physical, it's getting me upset (You only think of sex)
My partner's excessive focus on physical intimacy is causing me emotional distress, and you only care about sex
Every now and then, you know you put me to the test (You only think of sex)
Occasionally, you put me in situations where your true motivations are revealed: your overwhelming focus on sex
You're complicating matters and you make our life a mess
Your obsession with sex is making our relationship difficult and chaotic
It really isn't what I want, you're acting like a pest
I do not want your constant sexual advances, and your behavior is bothering me
All this physical reaction is just getting me depressed
My partner's constant focus on physical intimacy is causing me to feel sad and frustrated
Can't you love me for my mind? This I must request
I want my partner to focus on my intellectual and emotional qualities instead of just my physical appearance or sexual ability
All you ever think about, think about is sex
Your obsession with sex is all-consuming and detrimental to our relationship
