And as the tea steeped I creeped all in her teepee
We did it Indian style had the girls speaking in tongues
She like young, you hung

Stop it before you wake up my mom, I might (ah)
And now that I've arrived it's time that I go

Your body is my hobby
We freaking this ain't cheating as long as we don't tell nobody
Tell your girls you leaving, I'll meet you in the lobby
I'm so cold yeah I need that hot toddy
Hot toddy, hot toddy
The song Hot Toddy by Usher featuring Jay-Z depicts two individuals coming together in a sexual encounter, without the commitment of a relationship. The lyrics suggest that the man believes that the physical interaction between them does not qualify as cheating as long as they keep it a secret. The lyrics also speak of the man’s promiscuous lifestyle, his need to be kept faithful, and his ability to gratify women while looking for satisfaction himself. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, “Your body is my hobby,” which is a metaphor for the superficiality of their relationship, where it is based on nothing more than physical pleasure.
The song’s lyrics cater to the genre of contemporary R&B, where it is commonplace to sing and write about sexual experiences. The language used in the song is explicit and objectifies the female body. It also reinforces the traditional gender roles, where the man is in control and the woman is objectified. However, it must be noted that musical lyrics can often blur the line between fiction and reality, and it is up to the listener to distinguish between the two.
