Body Work Lyrics
I still want to see you tonight.
Will you be around?
I still want to get you alone
Will you be around?
Can I take all the steps I'm planning tonight
Without hurting you back?
Can I make all the moves I'm making tonight
Without hurting you bad?
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
I get shy in these lights
I feel your body doing overtime
I get shy in these lights
I feel my pulse doing overtime
I won't give you what's right
So come around
And I won't put up a fight
So come around
Can I take all the steps I'm planning tonight
Without risking it all?
Can I make all the moves I'm making tonight
Without hurting you bad?
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
I get shy in these lights
I feel my body doing overtime
I get shy in these lights
I feel my pulse working overtime
You've got a fine form
Nobody's saying no
Walking a fine line
Can I take all the steps I'm planning tonight
Without risking it all?
Can I make all the moves I'm making tonight
Without hurting you bad?
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
I get shy in these lights
I feel your body doing overtime
I get shy in these lights
I feel my pulse doing overtime
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
I get shy in these lights
I feel your body doing overtime
Shy in these lights
I feel my pulse doing overtime
Will you be around?
I still want to get you alone
Will you be around?
Without hurting you back?
Can I make all the moves I'm making tonight
Without hurting you bad?
I feel my pulse working overtime
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
I feel your body doing overtime
I get shy in these lights
I feel my pulse doing overtime
So come around
And I won't put up a fight
So come around
Without risking it all?
Can I make all the moves I'm making tonight
Without hurting you bad?
I feel my pulse working overtime
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
I feel my body doing overtime
I get shy in these lights
I feel my pulse working overtime
Nobody's saying no
Walking a fine line
Without risking it all?
Can I make all the moves I'm making tonight
Without hurting you bad?
I feel my pulse working overtime
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
I feel your body doing overtime
I get shy in these lights
I feel my pulse doing overtime
I feel my pulse working overtime
You do your body work
I feel my pulse working overtime
I feel your body doing overtime
Shy in these lights
I feel my pulse doing overtime

...about the risks involved in putting a move on someone. You could lose whatever you had, you never know how it will turn out but you think about it, and feel the intensity of it.
This song is awesome! :D lol, Definitely about sex..........
"I get shy in these lights I feel your body doing overtime" =Sara gets nervous about doing the things she planned on doing, so her partner takes over.
"I get shy in these lights I feel my pulse doing overtime" -Sara's pleasured
"I won't give you what's right, So come around. And I won't put up a fight, So come around." -What's right, in the sanctity of her home, is boring. She wants to go wild, and she wants it.
"You've got a fine form" -Saras partners body
This song is actually written for Tegan, so Sara claims.
Sara often seems to write sexually suggestive material. Maybe it's just how we absorb it, as I've also eventually read that the song was about something entirely different. Ex. Come On, Relief Next To Me, Red Belt..
Perhaps it's what she intends, but overall Sara's writing has become more vague over the years and can be interpreted many ways, I think.
I find it quite funny if this is actually for Tegan, but I'd believe it. :P
but seriously, if I had to describe myself sexually.. this song kind of nails it.
"I get shy in these lights I feel your body doing overtime"
Ahhh.
Did I mention her voice is like.. made for this type of music? /feels like dancing every time it comes on. <3

For some reason I always think this song is about Sara trying to get with a girl but she's not sure if the girl is straight or gay. She's not sure if she should go through with her plan of making a move on the girl because she doesn't know how the girl will react. She doesn't want to hurt the girl or scare her but she can't help the feeling she has inside.
I know it's not right and it's just supposed to be a sexy song but it's what I think when I listen to it. I love this song! :)
