This song is so beautiful and yet so vulnerable. The girl seems young and inexperienced. Maybe this is her first sexual encounter (with this man), and party alcohol has affected her mood. There is nervous laughter; and her preconceived idea of sex seems based on a Religious Class teaching of a glorious union between two people, etc. Of course, she understands that in the hierarchy of sex, there is also a loving union and a lustful, fun encounter. But she doesn't seem to know what she in for, other than experience. She is abandoning herself to her unbridled pleasure. The 'See what you're doing to me' is such a tender observation, and really makes this a thinking-(wo)man's love song that lingers in the mind long after the post-coital cigarette!
