Pleasure Of Love
Tom Tom Club Lyrics

I tell you he was a masterpiece
The singer is describing the man in question as a work of art

How are you says I
The singer asks the man how he is doing

Just cool says he
The man responds that he is doing well and is calm

He never shook my hand
The man did not greet the artist in a formal manner

He was no gentleman
The man did not behave in a polite or chivalrous way

But he was o-o-o-over me, oh-oh-oh
Despite his lack of manners, the man was attracted to the singer

I met him hanging out at the park
The singer encountered the man while spending time in a public park

I was scared 'cause it was after dark
The darkness of the evening made the artist fearful

And he wore fast street clothes
The man's clothing was modern and trendy

And he was clearly posed
The man was posing or projecting a certain image

But he was o-o-o-over me, oh-oh-oh
Despite this, the man was still interested in the singer

Pleasure of love, pleasure of love
The joy of being in love

I tell you he knew the pleasure of love
The man was experienced in loving and being loved

Yes it's true he knew the pleasure of love
The statement is reaffirmed that the man was experienced in love

His smile was rich although his clothes were poor
The man's facial expression was full of emotion even though his clothing was not expensive

Something in his eyes of great allure
There was a mysterious and intriguing quality to the man that attracted the artist

And I could not resist
The artist was unable to control her attraction to the man

A calculated risk
The decision to engage with the man was made after careful consideration

Since he was o-o-o-over me, oh-oh-oh
Because the man was attracted to the singer as well

We broke the rules but we won the game
The relationship between the artist and the man was unconventional but ultimately successful

Nothing to lose, everything to gain
They took a chance on each other with no risk of loss and everything to gain

And now I have no doubt
The artist is confident in her feelings for him

I could not live without him
The singer cannot imagine her life without the man in question

I am o-o-o-over him, oh-oh-oh
The artist is head over heels in love

We'll have our babe, or maybe two or three
The couple plans on having children together

We'll love that babe our own sweet family
The singer and the man will love their children and create a loving family

And we will live in style
The couple will live a comfortable and fashionable lifestyle

And make it well worthwhile
They will make their lives together fulfilling and rewarding

I tell you he was a masterpiece
The artist reiterates that the man was a work of art

He never shook my hand
The man did not adhere to conventional social standards

He was no gentleman
The man was not polite or chivalrous

But he was o-o-o-over me, oh-oh-oh
Despite his shortcomings, the man was still interested in the artist

Pleasure of love, pleasure of love
The joy of being in love

Pleasure of love, love, love, love ...
The artist repeats the phrase to emphasize the importance of love

We broke the rules but we won the game
The unconventional relationship was successful

Nothing to lose and everything to gain
There was no risk and much to be gained from their relationship

And he will marry me
The couple will get married

I'll carry his baby
The singer will have a child with the man she loves

Because I'm o-o-o-over him, oh-oh-oh
The singer is deeply in love with the man

Pleasure of love ..., pleasure of love ...
The joy of being in love

I tell you he knew the pleasure of love ...
The man was experienced in love and enjoyed it

Yes it's true he knew the pleasure of love ...
The statement is reaffirmed that the man was experienced in love

Pleasure of love, pleasure of love
The joy of being in love

I tell you he knew the pleasure of love
The man was experienced in love and enjoyed it

Yes it's true he knew the pleasure of love
The statement is reaffirmed that the man was experienced in love

Pleasure of love, pleasure of love ...
The joy of being in love

I tell you he knew the pleasure of love ...
The man was experienced in love and enjoyed it

Yes it's true he knew the pleasure of love ...
The statement is reaffirmed that the man was experienced in love
