I Gotta Make My Move
Chris's version of Rod Stewart's "If Ya Want My Body."
The Song
Lyrics
She sits alone
Waiting for suggestions
I'm so nervous
Not knowing what the hay to say there
My mind is blank
Her feeling with good ideas (?)
Don't you just know exactly what we're thinking
If you want her body
And you think she's sexy
come on darn boy let her know
If you really need her
Reach out and touch her
come on dumb boy tell her so
Tell her so, man!
I'm acting shy
Looking for an answer
Come on dumb Blake go spend your night together
Now hold on a minute
Before we go much further
I beg for a dime so I can phone my mother
We can catch a cab to my high-price apartment
At least I can tell her where exactly her exactly what apartment
If you want her body
and you think she's sexy
Come on darn boy, let her know
If you really need her
Just reach out and touch her
Come on dumb boy tell her so
My heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last I got my girl home!
At last you made it and y'all are alone
Alone!
We wake at dawn
'Cause all the birds are singing
Two true lovers to getting what we're thinking
Outside it's cold and misty and it's raining
We have each other
We are not complaining
I said "I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee."
"Nevermind sugar, we can watch an early movie."
If you want her body
And you think she's sexy
Come on dumb boy let her know
If you really need her
Just reach out and touch her
Come on dumb boy tell her so!
Hey, man!
If you need her
Come on and touch her
Come on dumb boy let her know
If you really, really, really, really, really need her
Let her know
Just let her know
Just reach out and touch her
Come on dumb boy let her know
If you really need her
Just reach out and touch her
Come on dumb boy let her know
If you really - If you really need her
Just come on and tell her so
Just reach out and touch her
Analysis of the Lyrics
Based on the lyrical content, Chris's cover is about taking a boyfriend-free girl to his "apartment" for hanky-panky. He also encourages sexual harassment of women in the chorus by saying if you "need" a woman, feel free to touch her without her permission.
