This song isn’t really about “safe sex”. It’s about having sex with someone and falling in love with them. She’s not a stupid girl, she knows that a guy will say “I love you” just to get her into bad (I don’t believe everything that I’m told). She has been hurt by love before and won’t be taken advantage of again (I’ve been around and I know the ropes / And I won’t get fooled again). She doesn’t believe in “true love” or “happily ever after” (I don’t believe in no fairy tales… / I got no illusions now, I guess I lost them long ago). If she sleeps with him she is afraid she will falling in love (And there’s no such thing as safe sex / When it comes to loving you). She doesn’t want to end up heartbroken after having sex with him (There’s always the danger of losing control / And of breaking my heart and exposing my soul) but she feels like she can’t stop herself from wanting him (There’s just no protection from that look in your eyes / Or the touch of your hands). She knows that whenever she sleeps with him there is a chance that she could love him and he will hurt her (There’s always a risk of surrendering more / Than I ever intended to do). He has been around and she thinks he could have broken hearts before (You’re not such an innocent boy). She’s fears giving him her heart and the possibility of him breaking it (There no guarantee I can handle it all).
I love this song! Jim Steinman is an amazing song-writer.
