The title track of Whenever We Wanted marks Mellencamp’s return to songs with ‘sexual electricity’, less-focused on social issues and politics.
In Mellencamp: American Troubadour, author David Masciotra writes:
Mellencamp writes of a woman whose mysterious powers made him better. She wasn’t evil,...
We weren't afraid of nothing
Wasn't nothing we couldn't do
She held her breath once for seven minutes
And never turned blue
She could burn a woman down
If she felt she'd been unkind
Or if she thought she was coming on to me
It drove her out of her mind
Oh yeah, it's true
We did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, it's true
We did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
She was my very best friend
My biggest enemy
On judgment day we would go either way
It was all the same you see
She was not afraid of Satan
But she thought he was a joke
Said she'd tear off his tail
And run her fist down his throat
Oh yeah, it's true
We did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, it's true
We did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
She was the apple of temptation
The apple of my eye
Used to rest on a bed of burning coals
Every single night
And I know she's out there somewhere
She's wrestling in the bones
With confetti in her hair
You can bet she's not alone
Oh yeah, it's true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, it's true
We did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, it's true
We did what we did
Did what we did
And we just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
