This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
Baby comes one time and in his touch
I feel a grace that only he can bring
And with his kiss, I feel a grace
That only he can bring, only he can bring
Baby comes two times and with his touch
I feel warmth and peace that wholeness brings
And with his kiss, deliciousness
And peace that wholeness brings
That only he can bring
And it feels like butter, runnin' over me
Butter, and I'm won over, yeah
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, butter, that only he can bring
Baby comes three times and with his touch
The electrifying spark is he and me
And with his kiss, a quiet bliss
That only he can bring, only he can bring
And if I taste his grace, his gift
That he gives only to me
Then I can taste desire, delicious fire
That only he can bring, only he can bring
And it tastes like
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, and I'm won over, yeah
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, butter, that only he can bring
In the quiet, warm, and fragrant dark
The electrifying spark is he and me
Like only we can be
I feel a grace that only he can bring
And with his kiss, I feel a grace
That only he can bring, only he can bring
Baby comes two times and with his touch
I feel warmth and peace that wholeness brings
And with his kiss, deliciousness
And peace that wholeness brings
That only he can bring
And it feels like butter, runnin' over me
Butter, and I'm won over, yeah
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, butter, that only he can bring
Baby comes three times and with his touch
The electrifying spark is he and me
And with his kiss, a quiet bliss
That only he can bring, only he can bring
And if I taste his grace, his gift
That he gives only to me
Then I can taste desire, delicious fire
That only he can bring, only he can bring
And it tastes like
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, and I'm won over, yeah
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, butter, that only he can bring
In the quiet, warm, and fragrant dark
The electrifying spark is he and me
Like only we can be

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
