Talk Dirty to Me Lyrics

You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do

You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes
Till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes
Till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes
Till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

I was a child of the 80's (big hair, dark makeup, mullets, men spending more time on their hair than women...) and I miss it sometimes. Poison is my all time favorite hair band EVER! People think it is hilarious to go to a concert with me because I get so excited and dance around. This song is about sex (duh!) but goes a little bit more of a story. I think it's about that fun time of being a teenager, and sneaking around to be w/your boyfriend and girlfriend. You don't have your own car yet (in the old man's ford) and you don't have a good place to go have sex (behind the bushes, down the basement -lock the cellar door). I know me and my high school sweet heart were always "in the basement" with the cellar door locked! Gosh I miss those days sometimes! It's funny, because my mom had to listen to me playing my tape cassettes (hmmm...what's a tape cassette) over and over (which she hated at the time) she knows all the songs and I had ot make her a copy of my greatest hits CD!

It is really funny people think it's about sneaking around with a girl but he never makes mention of a girl anywhere. This song is actually about sneaking around to smoke Marijuana and the person he is calling in tge song is his dealer. Kids in the 70s and 80s would sneak out behind the bushes during school to smoke a joint. He never says basement, he says cellar which usually had an outside door and not one in the house. And we never went to the dive in to have sex. We went there to meet up with friends and smoke pot. Look at the words closely.

At The Drive-In got their name from this song, and the song also sounds Ramones influenced (guitar wise), so it's a-ok with me!

The religion of having sex w00t! Hah

Yeah, I'm not seeing how this song is about religion. It's clearly about sex. The chorus is listing all of the places where they're going to do it (old man's ford?!). Regardless, it's still an awesome song, evenr though I'm no fan of the genre.
