Lyrics
I don't know why we're together
I am uncertain about the reasons for our relationship.
You scratch and we fight, then you bite
We engage in conflicts where you physically attack, including biting.
And we make love till the morning light
We engage in sexual activity until the early hours of the day.
I guess we're feeling mean
There is a sense of cruelty or harshness in our emotions.
Somewhere in between
We are in a state that lies between extreme emotions.
There aint no place to hide
There is no refuge or escape from our situation.
When you're black inside
Our inner selves, perhaps referring to emotional state, are dark or troubled.
Oo, that smell is around you
There is a distinctive smell associated with you.
All we do is taboo, and its true
Our actions together are considered socially unacceptable or forbidden.
And I don't care until we're through
I remain indifferent or unconcerned until our activities conclude.
I guess we're feeling mean
Similar to line 5, there is a harsh or cruel emotional state.
Somewhere in between
We are in a state that lies between extreme emotions (repeated).
There aint no place to hide
There is no refuge or escape from our situation (repeated).
When you're black inside
Our inner selves, perhaps referring to emotional state, are dark or troubled (repeated).
Throw those long legs around me
Wrap your long legs around me.
First you unwind, then you grind
Initially, you relax, and then you move sensually.
Then you drive me right out of my mind
Your actions lead to an intense emotional reaction in me.
I guess we're feeling mean
Similar to lines 5 and 14, there is a harsh or cruel emotional state.
Somewhere in between
We are in a state that lies between extreme emotions (repeated).
There aint no place to hide
There is no refuge or escape from our situation (repeated).
When you're black inside
Our inner selves, perhaps referring to emotional state, are dark or troubled (repeated).
