Scott Weiland was compelled to write the lyrics after an incident in which a girl he was dating was raped by three high school football players after a party. Thus, Weiland has stated the song is an anti-rape statement, not a song simply about sex, saying:
This song is really not about sex at all....
[Verse 1]
I am, I am, I am
I said, I wanna get next to you
I said, I gonna get close to you
You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too
[Verse 2]
I ain't, I ain't, I ain't
A-buyin' into your apathy
I'm gonna learn ya my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity, atrocity?
[Chorus]
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know
[Verse 3]
I am a man, a man
I'll give ya something that ya won't forget
I said ya shouldn't have a-worn that dress
I said ya shouldn't have a-worn that dress, worn that dress
[Chorus]
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know
[Bridge]
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
[Verse 1]
I am, I am, I am
I said, I wanna get next to you
I said, I'm gonna get close to you
You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too?
[Chorus]
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know
[Bridge]
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
[Outro]
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
