I'm Too Sexy
The Hit Crew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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.
The song "I'm Too Sexy" by The Hit Crew tells the story of a man and a woman who meet in a bar and have a conversation filled with subtle sexual tension. She is waiting for him to make a move, while he is nervous and avoiding her questions. However, deep down, they both know what they want from each other. Eventually, he musters up the courage to ask her if she wants his body, and she responds positively. They then go back to his apartment, and spend the night together.
The lyrics of the song are filled with innuendo and suggestiveness, but they never become explicitly vulgar or obscene. Instead, they create a mood of playful flirtation and sexual attraction. The repeated chorus of "If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, come on sugar, let me know" reinforces the theme of open communication and mutual desire between the two main characters.
In summary, "I'm Too Sexy" is a lighthearted, humorous song about attraction and connection between two consenting adults.
