La da da da
It came without warning
A love like I ain't never felt before
She's like my destiny calling
And she's lying there all naked on the floor
And suddenly out of blue, she's singing
Oh baby, let my loving ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Ooh baby let my loving ease your pain, tonight
She came without warning
Like an angel come from Heaven in the night
Her kiss makes me tremble
So she pulls me close and she holds me oh so tight
And suddenly out of the blue she starts singing
Oh baby let my loving ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Ooh baby let my loving ease your pain
I'll give you life
I'll give you life
I'll give you life
Oh baby let my loving ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby let my loving ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river
Oh to my river
La da da da
Oh to my river
It came without warning
A love like I ain't never felt before
She's like my destiny calling
And she's lying there all naked on the floor
And suddenly out of blue, she's singing
Oh baby, let my loving ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Ooh baby let my loving ease your pain, tonight
She came without warning
Like an angel come from Heaven in the night
Her kiss makes me tremble
So she pulls me close and she holds me oh so tight
And suddenly out of the blue she starts singing
Oh baby let my loving ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Ooh baby let my loving ease your pain
I'll give you life
I'll give you life
I'll give you life
Oh baby let my loving ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby let my loving ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river
Oh to my river
La da da da
Oh to my river

and yeah id agree. there's definitely sexual undertones in the song.
We are all sinners and have been torn apart by this world. So God says, "Child, come here and I will restore you. I will cleanse you."
Eh? Whatcha think? I'm thinking that THAT is the deeper meaning.
“It came without warning; A love like I aint never felt before; She's like my destiny calling; And she's lying there all naked on the floor” -- until you have kids you don’t truly understand the concept of ultimate and unconditional love; it’s a life changing experience and usually in ways you don’t expect. As far as the naked part - babies love to be naked and no parent can resist letting them enjoy that freedom while they can – but don’t try this at home if it’s a boy – they pee everywhere! Yes, that’s experience talking. LOL!
“Oh baby, let my loving ease your pain; Bring your burning skin to my river once again; I'll give you life; Ooh baby let my loving ease your pain, tonight” -- there’s really no greater feeling than when your baby looks at you like you are their whole world. It is truly unconditional love because to them you are everything and perfect and wonderful and you can see that in their eyes and there’s nothing that will make you feel better and bring you complete and utter joy than the moment when you experience that look. There’s more to “loving” than just sex people. ;-)
“She came without warning; Like an angel come from Heaven in the night; Her kiss makes me tremble; So she pulls me close and she holds me oh so tight” -- babies are notorious for being born when you either least expect it or at a minimum when you’ve had no damn sleep the night before. Babies kisses and hugs rank right up there with all the best things in life. They can make you feel so good you could cry. They say a mother’s kiss can make everything all better. But what they don’t tell you is that a hug or a kiss from a child can do the same. I don't care how sad you are a kiss and a hug from a baby/toddler/child WILL ease your pain.
Sorry folks, the song is not about sex, it’s about babies. But . . . then again . . . if my husband would open his arms, shake his hips like Ed does in the video and sing to me “oh baby, let my loving ease your pain” – well, then it would be about sex – oh yeah, totally. Which leads to babies, so, see, it is about babies. LOL!
On top of the great lyrics and the mesmerizing video (the desert, the sun, the water, those hips!); I also LOVE it musically. My musical taste has always been very diverse, so I can love the uplifting melody of this song equally as much as I do the raw energy found in I Alone. This song is one of the most uplifting I’ve heard in a really long time. It makes me feel so damn good when I hear it. It’s my favorite LIVE song and it’s my phone ringtone, too.
