Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like the way that you touch
Me in the places that you do
That's the way i like it
If you show me loving
I'll treat you right
No need to hesitate
You know i like you and you like me
So let's come together that's
The way it should be
You're the one for me my friend
Don't you start unless
You end baby, baby
I'll tell you you're my destiny
Come and give it up to me
I like the way that you touch me
In the places that you do
That's the way i like it
I like the way that my
Temperature rises next to you
That's the way i like it
If you touch my body
I'll touch yours too
We must express ourselves
Let our feelings come through
But i need to tell you i'm in control
You might be the star but
I got the leading role
You're the one for me my friend
Don't you start unless

The way you feel me
The way you fell into my arms
Don't go yet
Please stay with me, please

In the places that you do
That's the way i like it
I like the way that my
Temperature rises next to you
That's the way i like it

One of my favorite scenes from this movie. The transformation of "Thelma" from a subservient and submissive housewife to a strong, opinionated, and assertive woman was great to see.

"Something has crossed over inside me. I couldn't live." One of the most powerful phrases ever in a film - it speaks volumes about who she is and who she has grown into. This is my favorite quote, but the whole film is marvelous - a masterpiece.

Do You ever get to San Francisco? I'm ready to watch it again with company. :) Bravo to your being vegan. Being diabetic, it's harder because so many low carb foods are meat based. :(
Sarah Gale
Totally agree Dennis. Have always loved this film and now, this wonderful quote has inspired me to become a vegan to help protect animals. “You get what you settle for,” is also another of its quotes that l live by.
