Raunchy Lyrics That Went Over Our Heads

By Rose Wythe

March 6, 2018

50 Cent and Lil Kim - "Magic Stick"

"I got the magic stick/ I know if I can hit once, I can hit twice/ I hit the baddest chicks/ Shorty don't believe me, then come with me tonight/ And I'll show you magic."

We should have questioned 50 Cent's magic skills years ago.

O-Town - "Liquid Dreams"

"Posters of love surrounding me/ Lost in the world of fantasy/ Every night she comes to me and gives me all the love I need."

Why didn't we notice how terribly awkward this song is?

Next - "Too Close"

"Baby when we're grinding/ I get so excited/ Ooh how I like it I try but I can't fight it"

This changes everything we remember about our Friday night middle school dances.

Usher - "My Way"

"She likes it my way, my way/ You can't satisfy her needs/ She keeps running back to see me do it My way, my way What I say goes, and I'm in control."

This one just went way over our heads.

Madonna - "Like A Prayer"

"I'm down on my knees / I wanna take you there."

All this time we thought this song was about a different kind of devotion.

Salt N' Pepa - "Shoop"

"Felt it in my hips so I dipped back to my bag of tricks/ Then I flipped for a tip, make me wanna do tricks for him/ Lick him like a lollipop should be licked/ Came to my senses and I chilled for a bit."

To think that Salt became all religious after releasing this.

Janet Jackson - "All For You"

"All my girls at the party/ Look at that body/ Shakin' that thing Like I never did see/ Got a nice package alright/ Guess I'm gonna have to ride tonight."

We guess we can't say we didn't see this one coming. She is Ms. Jackson (if you're nasty) for a reason.

Spice Girls - "2 Become 1"

"Any deal that we endeavor/ Boys and girls feel good together."

How could a song sound so sweet, but be so filthy?

Jordan Knight - "Give It To You"

"Baby you know I can give it to you/ I can't deny/ I'd do it right/ Just let me know and I'll give it to you/ Show me where I'll taste you there."

This is the definition of subtle, sexualized '90s pop, and we (secretly) love it.

Crazy Town - "Butterfly"

"Come come my lady/ You're my butterfly sugar baby/ Come my lady/ You're my pretty baby/ I'll make your legs shake."

Butterflies are supposed to be pretty and innocent. This song is far from it.

Britney Spears - "Touch Of My Hand"

"Cuz I jus discovered/ Imagination's taken over/ Another day without a lover/ The more I come to understand the touch of my hand."

There were plenty of things that we didn't understand while going through puberty, and this is an example of just one of them.

Aaliyah - "Rock The Boat"

"Rock the boat, rock the boat/ Work the middle, work the middle, work the middle/ Change positions, new positions, new positions/ Stroke it for me, stroke it for me."

During our early teens, we just thought this song was about a sail boat or something. Guess not.

Dave Matthews Band - "Crash Into Me"

"Oh and you come crash into me, baby/ And I come into you/ Hike up your skirt a little more and show the world to me."

At the time, Aladdin was the only guy who wanted to show us a whole new world.

B*Witched - "C'est La Vie"

"I got a house with the windows and doors/ I'll show you mine if you show me yours/ Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey/ Let the fun begin, hey/I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey/I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away."

This just ruins our childhood. Completely.

Christina Aguilera - "Genie In A Bottle"

"If you wanna be with me baby/ There's a price to pay/ I'm a genie in a bottle/ Gotta rub me the right way honey.

Christina Aguilera - "Genie In A Bottle"

"

What about our wishes? All we cared about was our three wishes.

Ginuwine - "Pony"

"Girl when I break you off / I promise that you won't want to get off / If you're horny, let's do it / Ride it, my pony."

We now know that he's clearly not talking about My Little Pony or anything.

Missy Elliott - "Work It"

"If you got a big/ let me search it And find out how hard I gotta work ya."

To think that that we thought this song was some sort of motivational work-out tune.

Cyndi Lauper - "She Bop"

"Do I want to go out with a lion's roar Huh, yea, I want to go south and get me some more/ Hey, hey they say I better get a chaperon/Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone."

Cyndi is unapologetic as they come, and we're fine with that. #selflove

Toni Braxton - "You're Makin' Me High"

"I'll always think of you/ Inside of my private thoughts/ I can imagine you/ Touching my private parts/ With just the thought of you I can't help but touch myself."

Toni, Toni, Toni!

Ciara - "Ride"

"They love they way I ride it/ They love the way I ride the beat/ How I ride the beat, I ride it."

This sort of riding the beat is different from a 1, 2 step, right?

TLC - "Ain't Too Proud To Beg"

"Yo if I need it in the morning or the middle of the night/ I ain't 2 proud 2 beg/ If the lovin' is strong then he got it goin' on and I ain't 2 proud 2 beg - Two inches or a yard rock hard / or if it's saggin' / I ain't too proud to beg."

We ain't too proud to admit that we had no idea this was about that.

Snoop Dogg featuring Pharrell - "Drop It Like It's Hot"

"Eligible bachelor, million dollar boat, That's whiter than what's spilling down your..."

Never change, Snoop. Never change.

Three 6 Mafia - "Slob on My Knob"

"Slob on my knob/ Like corn on the cob."

Don't ever accept a BBQ invitation from Three 6 Mafia.

Nicki Minaj feat. Drake And Lil Wayne -"Truffle Butter"

"Pretty ladies, are you here? Truffle butter on your..."

This needs no explanation.

R. Kelly - "Bump N' Grind"

"Girl, you need someone/ Someone like me, yea/To satisfy your every need/ I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump n' grind."

There's clearly nothing wrong, especially since we're still bumping this song years later.

Kelis - "Milkshake"

"I know you want it / That thing that makes me / What the guys go crazy for / They lose their minds / The way I whine."

What if we prefer an M&M's McFlurry?

Lady Gaga - "Love Game"

"Let's have some fun, This beat is sick / I wanna take a ride on your disco stick."

Explain, Gaga. What is this disco stick you speak of?

Flo Rida - "Whistle"

"Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby / Here we go."

This was so catchy that you totally forgot you were singing about erm, whistle blowing skills.

*NSYNC - "Digital Get Down"

"Digital digital get down just you and me/ Twenty thousand miles away but I can see ya/ And baby baby you can see me/ Digital digital get down just what we need."

Please tell us how this would this even be possible with our dial-up connections.
