Dirty Diana
Seduction Unveiled: Dirty Diana's Tempting Dance
Lyrics
Oh, no
Expression of concern or disbelief
Oh, no
Reiteration of concern or disbelief
Oh, no
Continued expression of concern or disbelief
You'll never make me stay so take your weight off of me I know your every move so won't you just let me be
Rejecting someone's attempt to control or influence, asking for space
I've been here times before but I was too blind to see
Admitting past blindness to a situation
That you seduce every man this time you won't seduce me She's saying, "That's okay, hey baby, do what you please
Resisting seduction and asserting independence
I have the stuff that you want, I am the thing that you need She looked me deep in the eyes, she touchin' me so to start She says there's no turnin' back, she trapped me in her heart
Describing allure and offering what is desired, becoming emotionally involved
Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana
Repeated reference to the woman as "Dirty Diana"
Let me be
Request for freedom or distance
She likes the boys in the bands, he knows when they come to town Every musician's fan, after the curtain comes down
Describing the woman's attraction to musicians
She waits at backstage doors, for those who have prestige
Waiting for those with status and success
Who promise fortune and fame, a life that's so carefree
Seeking a life of wealth and carefree existence
She's saying, "That's okay, hey, baby, do what you want I'll be your night lovin' thing, I'll be the freak you can taunt I don't care what you say, I wanna go too far
Indulging in desires, expressing willingness to go too far
I'll be your everything, If you make me a star"
Offering to be everything in exchange for fame
Dirty Diana, ohh
Reiteration of the woman as "Dirty Diana"
Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana
Repetition of the woman's name as an identifier
Let me be
Repetition of the request for freedom or distance
Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana
Repetition of the woman as "Dirty Diana"
Let me be
Repetition of the request for freedom or distance
Diana
Repetition of the woman's name
Diana
-Dirty Diana
Repetition of the identifier "Dirty Diana"
Dirty Dian, Ian, Ian, come on
Chanting and encouragement
She said, "I have to go home', cause I'm real tired you see Now I hate sleepin' alone, why don't you come with me?" I said, "My baby's at home, she's probably worried tonight I didn't call on the phone, to say that I'm alright"
Narrative of a proposition to spend the night, a mention of a significant other
Diana walked up to me, she said, "I'm all yours tonight"
Expression of availability and interest
And then I ran to the phone, sayin', "Baby I'm alright"
Action to reassure a significant other
I said, "But unlock the door" cause I forgot the key
Request to unlock the door, realization of being locked out
She said, "He's not coming back, because he's sleeping with me"
Revelation of infidelity
Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana, ohh Dirty Diana
Repetition of the identifier "Dirty Diana"
Let me be
Repetition of the request for freedom or distance
come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on
Encouragement or urgency
