Do You Mind?
The xx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where do you wanna go
'Cause if ya don't
I'll take it slow
Make you lose control
Baby would you like
To spend the night
And maybe if you play it right
You can be all mine
Do you mind if I take you home tonight
Stay another day
If that's okay
Tell me baby
Would you mind if I take you home with me
Where no one can see
So don't be shy
Night, night, night, the whole night
Night, night, night, the whole night
Baby
I like your style
So lets get it on
When we touch
I can't get enough
I'm falling for you
Honey would you like
To make love tonight
The whole night
And baby
If you play it right
You can be all mine
Do you mind if I take you home tonight
Stay another day
If that's ok
Tell me baby
Would you mind if I take you home with me
Where no one can see
So don't be shy
Night, night, night, the whole night
Night, night, night, the whole night
Do you mind if I take you home tonight
(Night, night, night, the whole night)
Stay another day
If that's ok
Tell me baby
(Night, night, night, the whole night)
Would you mind if I take you home with me
Where no one can see
So don't be shy
(Night, night, night, the whole night)
Baby
Honey
(Night, night, night, the whole night)
Baby
Honey
(Night, night, night, the whole night)
The XX's song "Do You Mind" is a sultry and seductive track that explores the idea of desire and intimacy. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer asks their partner where they want to go, noting that if they don't have a destination in mind, they'll take things slow and make them lose control. The chorus suggests that the singer is looking to spend the night with their partner, encouraging them to play their cards right if they want to be "all mine". The second verse takes things up a notch, as the singer expresses their attraction to their partner's style and implies that they want to make love to them throughout the night.
The song is full of repetition, bringing a sense of intimacy and familiarity to the lyrics. The phrase "night, night, night, the whole night" is repeated throughout the song, creating a sense of longing and desire. The chorus also employs repetition, asking if the partner would mind if they take them home tonight, and reassuring them not to be shy. The overall effect of the lyrics and the music is a sense of yearning and intimacy that takes the listener on a journey through the emotions of desire.
