I'm sayin' all the things that I know you'll like
Making good conversation I gotta handle you just right, you know what I mean
I took you to an intimate restaurant, then to a suggestive movie
There's nothing left to talk about 'less it's horizontally

Let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk
Let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk

I've been patient, I've been good, try'n to keep my hands on the table
It's gettin' hard this holdin' back, you know what I mean
I'm sure you'll understand my point of view, we know each other mentally
You've gotta know that you're bringin' out the animal in me

Let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk
Let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk

Oh let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk
Let's get animal, animal, I wanna get animal, let's get into animal
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk
Let me hear your body talk, let me hear your body talk

    General Comment:The video was funny. Apparently she was ready to pull the record like the day before it was like set to be released.( It was a number one in 1981). She was horrified,because she didn't want to be seen as some sexually aggressive woman. It didn't seem to tarnish her image at all. She was and still a great vocalist. :)

    General Comment:It was very racy at the time (even banned in some areas). She specifically did it to go against her good girl image.

    General Comment:This song is really too light and peppy to be very dirty. I guess ONJ did that on purpose to coincide with her girl-next-door image. Still, I like it, and I applaud her for singing a song in which the woman takes the lead in seducing the man. Not very many songs or other media acknowledge that guys aren't the only ones sitting there thinking dirty thoughts about their dates...

    General Comment:ONJ tries a "raunchy" song. Catchy 80's pop. It's good, but not great.
