The artist becomes remarkably precise in what he wants to do with his lover, declaring his passion in this highly explicit track. Bobby Z., Prince’s backing drummer on this song and in The Revolution, was very pragmatic when first hearing the recording. “I was already used to Head, so if you’re used...
[Verse 1]
Pardon me, I want to talk to you
I may be kind of shy
But I just got to tell you
What I'm going through
Someone over there says
He wants to get to know you
I don't care 'cause
I really want to hold you
And I'm so scared
Girl, he might do something
To you that you like
Now I've been waiting
Such a bloody long time
Just to get this close to you
Now that you're near me
I want you to hear me
I'll tell you what I want to do
[Chorus]
Oh, I want to do it
Do it all night
I want to do it
Do it to you right
[Verse 2]
Giving up so easy
Is something that I never do
But I'm so easy, so easy
When it comes to loving you
Can't you understand that I want
To hug and kiss you?
I'll do anything I can just
To give you happiness
And I drown, baby, drown, baby
In your arms, come on, baby
Can't you get to this?
I've been waiting such a bloody long time
And you're talking to someone else
Now that I've got your attention
There's something I want to mention
[Chorus]
Oh, I want to do it
Do it all night
I want to do it
Do it to you right
Oh, I want to do it
Do it all night
I want to do it
Do it to you right
Oh, I want to do it
Do it all night
I want to do it
Do it to you right
Oh, I want to do it
Do it all night
I want to do it
Do it to you right
Oh, I want to do it
Do it all night
I want to do it
Do it to you right
