Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby

Cigarettes After Sex

Whispered something in your ear
It was a perverted thing to say
But I said it anyway
Made you smile and look away

Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side

When we dance in my living room
To that silly '90s R&B
When we have a drink or three
Always ends in a hazy shower scene

Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side

And we laugh into the microphone and sing
With our sunglasses on, to our favorite songs

And we're laughing in the microphone and singing
With our sunglasses on, to our favorite songs

Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side

    My InterpretationFor me, this song talks about the newness of a relationship/encounter with someone and the intense level of intimacy that comes with that. I feel it's this and also the idea of trying to get someone to open up to you and make them feel comfortable in your presence, because unlike the people whom may have come and gone in their life, you actually care.

    General CommentAm I the only one to think there is a dark undertow to this song? Is he reassuring her or controlling her? 'Nothings gonna take you from my side' - makes me shiver.....!

    My InterpretationCome to me... let me in, I'll shield you with all of my soul and never let you get hurt again. Is it a lie? It's how I feel...

    General CommentThis song sounds like is about people who are depressed and how the guy tells her that as long as she is with him she'll be just fine as a way to make her feel comfortable and connected to him, I mean the tune sounds dark yet relaxing and a bit sexual and the message that sends it's one of someone trying to make his girl feel a deep connection with him.

    General CommentTo me this song feels reassuring. For some people who often feel scared of being hurt, this person gives the reassurance and to help them let their guard down. I mean, who can really promise that? I don’t think anyone can. But at least the intention of acting in the best interest of his lover, I think it’s a sweet song.
