Lyrics
Telephone rings and she's got me hangin' on the wire
Receiving a call, feeling emotionally invested and waiting eagerly for a response.
Tells me she's had enough of the same damn thing
The person on the phone expresses frustration with repetitive experiences.
What's wrong with Mr.Right
Questioning why a seemingly suitable partner isn't meeting expectations.
He ain't got the tools to satisfy you
Implying that the partner lacks the necessary skills or attributes to satisfy the person.
Say the word 'cause I got your ticket to fly
Offering assistance or a solution to escape the situation.
1,2,3,4, lady needs the rockin' horse
Expressing the woman's desire for excitement or something thrilling.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Encouraging or urging someone to take action.
C'mon baby won't you get on top of my rockin' horse
Inviting the person to join in or take control of a thrilling experience (symbolized by the 'rockin' horse').
'Cause playin' safe ain't gonna get you what you need
Implying that being cautious won't fulfill their desires or needs.
3 a.m. I ain't supposed to hear the doorbell ring
Noticing a late-night visit, unexpected or against the norm.
Well push came to shove now she's got me ready to sing
Feeling pushed to a point of readiness to express feelings or thoughts.
I got her motor runnin'
Indicating arousal or excitement.
She made my pistons burn and burn
Describing intense physical sensation.
And burn like fire and lit my last cigarette
Comparing the intensity of feelings to fire and passion.
1,2,3,4, lady loves the rockin' horse
Reiterating the woman's desire for an exhilarating experience.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Encouraging or urging someone again to take action.
C'mon baby won't you get on top of my rockin' horse
Repeating the invitation to participate in the thrilling experience.
Feel the thunder below it's gonna make you scream
Suggesting that the experience will be powerful and cause an intense reaction.
C'mon honey won't you get on top of my rockin' horse
Reiterating the invitation for involvement in the thrilling encounter.
'Cause playin' safe ain't gonna get you what you need
Emphasizing again that being cautious won't fulfill their needs.
There ain't no way around it
Stating there's no avoiding certain experiences in life.
You've got to live and learn
Expressing the necessity of learning from life's experiences.
Sometimes you think you've found it
Acknowledging the feeling of finding something special but also anticipating disappointment.
But you're bound to get burned
Highlighting the inevitability of getting hurt despite efforts.
C'mon baby won't you get on top of my rockin' horse
Continuing the invitation for participation in the thrilling encounter.
Feel the thunder below it's gonna make you scream
Reiterating the intensity and impact of the experience.
Let's go honey won't you get on top of my rockin' horse
Again, inviting involvement in the thrilling encounter.
'Cause playin' safe ain't gonna get you what you need
Reemphasizing that being cautious won't satisfy their needs.
