Premarital Sex
Guilty Temptation: Youth's Struggle with Desire
Lyrics
First you say you will
Expressing a commitment or intention
Then you say you won't
Contradicting the initial commitment or intention
Then you say you're waiting for that special someone
Claiming to wait for a special someone in the future
You will have some day
Anticipating having a special someone someday
It's guilty temptation
Describing the act as a guilty temptation
Adolescent lust
Referring to the sexual desire typical of adolescents
Now you've got more than pimples popping out
Commenting on the physical changes during adolescence
First you say that you will
Reiterating the initial claim of willingness
But you know you won't
Asserting skepticism about fulfilling the commitment
But you gotta get your thrill
Stating the need for excitement or pleasure
Don't look at me
Dismissing responsibility or involvement
Go ahead and take the pill
Suggesting the use of contraception (pill)
Premarital sex
Title or repetition of the theme: premarital sex
At the place that I work
Setting the scene at the speaker's workplace
The guys are always talking
Colleagues discussing sexual matters
About sexual delights
Referring to sensual pleasures
And pleasures of the flesh
Highlighting physical pleasures
You can get it plenty
Emphasizing the availability of sex
You can get it nice
Highlighting the ease of access to sex
You can get it anywhere at anytime
Emphasizing the ubiquity of sex
If you pay the price
Sex is available if one is willing to pay the price
First you say that you will
Repetition of the willingness theme
But you know you won't
Reiteration of skepticism about fulfilling the commitment
But you gotta get your thrill
Repeating the need for excitement or pleasure
Don't look at me
Restating the speaker's detachment from the situation
Go ahead and take the pill
Recommending the use of contraception (pill)
Premarital sex
Repetition of the theme: premarital sex
