Pour Some Sugar On Me
The Maine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me babe, Hey, hey!
Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?
Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah
Hey!
C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah
Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah
Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah
You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
'Cos I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet
From my head, my head, to my feet
Do you take sugar? one lump or two?
Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
Pour some sugar on me
Oh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
Get it, come get it
Pour your sugar on me
Ooh
Pour some sugar on me
Yeah! Sugar me!
The Maine's cover of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" seems to be an ode to lustful desire, evoking the emotion of craving for someone's touch. The first verse starts with the lines "Step inside, walk this way, you and me babe, Hey, hey!" The singer is asking their lover to come closer and walk with them, implying that they want to take their relationship to the next level physically. The chorus then exclaims, "Pour some sugar on me, Ooh, in the name of love, Pour some sugar on me, C'mon fire me up, Pour your sugar on me, Oh, I can't get enough." The singer is utilizing a metaphor of pouring sugar on themselves to signify that they crave their lover's affection just like sugar. They need and desire their touch, and the singer is excited to be fired up by their lover's passion.
The second verse enhances the notion of sexual craving by using terms like "Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love, Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up." These words suggest an obsession with physical attraction and indulging in sexual pleasure. The song's underlining theme is that the singer and their lover are two consenting adults who wish to express their love for each other in a physical way. The singer implies that they are hot, sticky, and sweet, giving us the sense that they are consumed by lust and desire.
Overall, the song 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' seems to be a passionate, energetic call for emotional and physical intimacy between two people. It doesn't promote the idea of a long-term relationship but rather emphasizes the importance of satisfying one's sexual cravings.
