Steven Tyler was not too clear of the meaning of this song as his lyrics are fairly ambiguous. To claim that the song is simply about pussy would be a superficial and inaccurate interpretation.
For example - "Pink - it's my new obsession"
I seriously doubt that pussy is Tyler's "NEW" obsession unless he was gay up until the time he wrote this song. I think we can safely eliminate Steven Tyler being gay although I wouldn't eliminate bisexuality given the video to this song.
or - "I wanna wrap you in rubber"
Generally, you don't wrap pussy in rubber but hey, I'm sure somebody somewhere does it.
With that being said, Tyler does sing:
"Pink - on the lips of your lover"
"Pink - as the bing on your cherry"
These lyrics could be interpreted as referring to pussy but I don't think they sum up the whole song or the meaning of the song.
Since Tyler was not completely clear in his lyrics as to what the hell he was talking about why don't we look at the video as we can safely bet that the video was made to somewhat correspond with the meaning of the song. Generally, that's what videos do. The video shows all different types of people who are portraying different sexual fetishes/preferences. Why would Tyler have a video showing this if his song is just about pussy? Doesn't make any sense, does it? He would've probably said to the director, "Hey dumb-ass, what the hell is this crap? This is not what my song is about, let's try it again." Guess what? He didn't do that.
So what is the song about? Consider the video and these lyrics:
"Pink - it's the color of passion
Ah, 'cause today it just goes with the fashion"
"And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight"
And consider the fact that Tyler (and Perry and other band members) show up in the video in many different forms.
Pink - as indicated in the song - represents different things to different people. Pink is basically your passion for whatever and whoever you like in terms of sexual preference/fetish. If it makes you feel good then get after it. Of course, this brings into question Tyler's sexual preferences and suggests that he has a varied and enormous appetite for more than just, you guessed it, pussy.
yeah i agree with you, cause i had assumed it to be primarily abou sex/vagina etc, but the vid had me confused. there are various facets to it, and it can be interpreted in different ways.
good job interpreting it :)
