We Dont Have To Take Our Clothes Off Lyrics
Not a word, from your lips
You just took for granted that I want to skinny dip.
A quick hit, that's your game.
But I'm not a piece of meat, still you like my brain.
Night is young, so are we.
Let's get to know each other better, slow & easily.
Take my hand, let's hit the floor.
Shake our bodies to the music.
Maybe then you'll score.
So come on baby, won't you show some class
Why you want to move so fast.
We don't have to take our clothes off
To have a good time, oh no
We could dance & party all night
And drink some cherry wine, Uh-huh
We don't have to take our clothes off
To have a good time, oh no
We could dance & party all night (all night)
And drink some cherry wine, Uh-huh
Na na na na na na, na na............
Just slow down if you want me
A man wants to be approached cool & romantically
I've got needs
Just like you
If the conversation's good
Vibrations through & through
So come on baby, won't you show some class
Why you want to move so fast.
We don't have to take our clothes off
To have a good time, oh no
We could dance & party all night
And drink some cherry wine, Uh-huh
We don't have to take our clothes off
To have a good time, oh no
We could dance & party all night (all night)
And drink some cherry wine, Uh-huh
Na na na na na na, na na............

One of my all time bests..probably just singin about we dont have to screw to have a good time..I am much classier than that kind of song.
I love this song. It was a reaction to the AIDS epidemic of the '80s and it's just a shame that Jermaine ended up dying of it. You got to love an artist who would sing a song like this.
It's generally about not rushing into sex. While an AIDS epidemic might have been the motivation for the song, it's worth looking at it at face value as well. The singer is wanting to have fun with whoever in other ways, and leave having sex until ready. After all, sex isn't something to be taken lightly.
Makes sense being a gay man with AIDS. Or anyone just newly dating. Whatev.
Yes it was about the AIDS crisis, but it was also the "theme song" to being a gay guy still totally closeted and just trying to get a girl to be his beard (straight cover) so he can go out to the clubs and check out the other guys! Scotty
Incorrect lyrics: But I'm not a piece of meat, still you like my brain. Should be: Girl, I'm not a piece of meat, stimulate my brain.
And: If the conversation's good Vibrations through & through //Should be: Give me conversations, good vibrations through and through.
And, even though this song's one of my favorites, I've got a few beefslolFirst off, tell me what single man actually belives that? If he really means what he's saying in this song, either he's gay as hell or she's ugly as s*it. Most single men I know, the date's all about the score! And usually, her performance will indicate whether or not they have conversation beforehand next time. If there even IS a next time.
And "drink some cherry wine"? Oh, c'mon!LAgain, in my experience, any single man who willingly drinks cherry wine, of all things, is either trying to score, because he knows "chicks dig stuff like that"...or he's dating you to get to your brother. I'm just sayin'.
And don't bash, I'm not hatin' on anybody. No, I'm not against gay people(considering I've got gay friends and family members, they'd be shocked if I was), I don't hate men(though my Husband might disagree lol), and I truly DO love this song. It's one of my faves, & I can never sit still when I hear it. This song always puts me in a good mood, no matter what's going on around me. And it WOULD be nice if more men were like this. I know they're out there, it's just hard to find 'em. I just thought I'd take a silly poke at it, is all. Still & always a great song!
it's about not wanting to get AIDs, which jermaine stewart died of this song fucking rocks, though.
According to Wikipedia, Jermaine died of liver cancer actually.
