Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is like a bomb
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?
Television lover, baby, go all night
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
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 Rock of Ages Movie Band's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" is a song about the intense feelings of love and passion. The opening lines establish the intensity of this feeling compared to a bomb, which is known for its explosive nature. The lyrics then go on to describe the singer’s sense of himself as a lover, capable of reacting quickly (“with a radar phone”) to attraction. The singer describes their own appearance as similar to that of a “tramp” or a “video vamp,” evoking images of wanton sexuality.
The song continues to delve into the sexual attraction between the singer and a potential partner, whom they describe as a “demolition woman.” The lyrics utilize metaphor (onomatopoeia with the repeated use of “razzle ‘n’ a dazzle ‘n’ a flash a little light ”), to describe the physical sensations of love, claiming that it is a feeling that requires a lover to stay up “all night.”
The refrain, “Pour some sugar on me,” suggests that the singer desires to be indulged in sexual attention the way one can indulge in excess sugar. The lyrics in the chorus provide a vivid image of the satisfaction experienced as one is “hot, sticky sweet from my head to my feet.”
Overall, "Pour Some Sugar on Me" is about desire, passion, and the indulgence of sexual cravings, evoking images of sweet, sticky sensuality that makes the listener’s toes curl in delight.
