Songs of Faith and Devotion is a very touchy-feely album. I was at FYE a while back and the guy working there even said "That album is good for getting it on".
It has already been established that Martin Gore is submissive (think Master and Servant, Behind the Wheel, etc.). The specific words in this song make it more profound and spiritual, but none the less, this is a sexual song. Its about a master/slave relationship. The slave is saying that they are disobedient because they love the punishment. They love having to beg for mercy and forgiveness. They love being so vulnerable.
