“This song caused a great deal of controversy when it was initially released, but was a rare song that became accepted as the artist explained himself. Amid concerns that the song was promoting promiscuity in the age of AIDS, the BBC restricted airplay to after 9pm, and many US radio stations refused to play it. Michael issued a statement in response, saying, ‘The media has divided love and sex incredibly. The emphasis of the AIDS campaign has been on safe sex, but the campaign has missed relationships. It’s missed emotion. It’s missed monogamy. ‘I Want Your Sex’ is about attaching lust to love, not just to strangers.’
Once initial concerns about the song died down and the shock value of the title wore off, most Top-40 radio stations, as well as the BBC, warmed up to the song. The disclaimer (and a bit of editing to the original video) also appeased MTV, which at first refused to air the clip.” Read here —> Songfacts.com for the full write up on this song…
There’s things that you guess
And things that you know
There’s boys you can trust
And girls that you don’t
There’s little things you hide
And little things that you show
Sometimes you think you’re gonna get it
But you don’t and that’s just the way it goes
I swear i won’t tease you
Won’t tell you no lies
I don’t need no bible
Just look in my eyes
I’ve waited so long baby
Now that we’re friends
Every man’s got his patience
And here’s where mine ends
I want your sex
I want you
I want your sex
It’s playing on my mind
It’s dancing on my soul
It’s taken so much time
So why don’t you just let me go
I’d really like to try
Oh i’d really love to know
When you tell me you’re gonna regret it
Then i tell you that i love you but you still say no!
I swear i won’t tease you
Won’t tell you no lies
I don’t need no bibte
Just look in my eyes
I’ve waited so long baby
Out in the cold
I want your sex
I want your love
I want your.. Sex
It’s natural
It’s chemical (let’s do it)
It’s logical
Habitual (can we do it?)
It’s sensual
But most of all…
Sex is something we should do
Sex is something for me and you
Sex is natural – sex is good
Not everybody does it
But everybody should
Sex is natural – sex is fun
Sex is best when it’s… One on one
One on one
I’m not your father
I’m not your brother
Talk to your sister
I am a lover
C-c-c-c-come on
What’s your definition of dirty baby
What do you consider pornography
Don’t you know i love you till it hurts me baby
Don’t you think it’s time you had sex with me
What’s your definition of dirty baby
What do you call pornography
Don’t you know i love you till it hurts me baby
Don’t you think it’s time you had sex with me
Sex with me
Sex with me
Have sex with me
C-c-c-c-come on.
