I'm bringin' sexy back
Them other boys don't know how to act
I think it's special, what's behind your back
So turn around and I'll pick up the slack
Dirty babe
You see these shackles, baby
I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
It's just that no one makes me feel this way
[Chorus]
Come here, girl (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Come to the back (Go 'head, be gone with it)
VIP (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Drinks on me (Go 'head, be gone with it)
You see what you're twerking with (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Look at those hips (Go 'head, be gone with it)
You make me smile (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Go 'head, child (Go 'head, be gone with it)
And get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on
I'm bringin' sexy back
Them other fuckers don't know how to act
Girl, let me make up for all the things you lack
Because you're burning up, I got to get it fast
(Take it to the bridge)
Dirty babe
You see these shackles, baby
I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
It's just that no one makes me feel this way
[Chorus]
(You ready? You ready? You ready?)
I'm bringin' sexy back
You mother fuckers watch how I attack
If that's your girl, better watch your back
'Cause you're burning up for me, and that's a fact
(Take it to the chorus)
[Chorus]
(Are you ready, yes? Are you ready, yes?)
Them other boys don't know how to act
I think it's special, what's behind your back
So turn around and I'll pick up the slack
Dirty babe
You see these shackles, baby
I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
It's just that no one makes me feel this way
[Chorus]
Come here, girl (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Come to the back (Go 'head, be gone with it)
VIP (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Drinks on me (Go 'head, be gone with it)
You see what you're twerking with (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Look at those hips (Go 'head, be gone with it)
You make me smile (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Go 'head, child (Go 'head, be gone with it)
And get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on (Go 'head, be gone with it)
Get your sexy on
I'm bringin' sexy back
Them other fuckers don't know how to act
Girl, let me make up for all the things you lack
Because you're burning up, I got to get it fast
(Take it to the bridge)
Dirty babe
You see these shackles, baby
I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
It's just that no one makes me feel this way
[Chorus]
(You ready? You ready? You ready?)
I'm bringin' sexy back
You mother fuckers watch how I attack
If that's your girl, better watch your back
'Cause you're burning up for me, and that's a fact
(Take it to the chorus)
[Chorus]
(Are you ready, yes? Are you ready, yes?)

Some scoff at this, pointing out that the singer merely wished to indicate that he was bringing sexy back. Others ask ``From where?'' and point out the predatory nature of the piece. It was a definite departure from some of his earlier ballad work, but the singer / songwriter hasn't deeply elaborated. Instead, he prefers to let the work stand as it is, or parody himself with the lyrics.
The video only enhanced the predatory notes in the lyrics. Shot as an action club movie, the chorus is transformed into a predatory club sex stalking of the female lead. Despite frequently asking ``you ready?'' it is clear that the singer has no intention of waiting for a polite response. Though some have protested the dominant implications of the lyrics, most fans are content with just rocking out and being mystified as to the true meaning of the piece.
Bringing the concept of hotness back into music... That was left out for a while. I'd say this whole CD did a pretty good job of that. Of course, everythings a matter of taste so you're always gonna have haters when somebody is doing their thing so fearlessly. Some people can't take the heat ;)
This is a song about Justin Timberlake being comfy with his homosexuality. (Note that I'm not using Homosexual as a synonym for Stupid; even my mom, who thinks he's "talented," has commented "soo gay.") Just bear with me:
" I'm bringing sexy back; "
This song brings attention to how sexy THEE BACK is, aka the view of the body that homos see the most, ya know? There's not mention of the front.
" them other boys don't know how to act. "
No mention of females in this song yet.
" I think it's special, what's behind your back? "
Special = different
" so turn around and I'll pick up the slack. "
Slack = Pen0r
" Dirty babe, you see these shackles;
baby I'm your slave. "
Kinky
" I'll let you whip me if I misbehave; "
Pen0r across back
" it's just that no one makes me feel this way. "
Maybe OP hasn't been with a guy before?
[Chorus: Timbaland]
" Come here girl, go ahead begone with it,
Come to the back, go ahead be gone with it, "
This guy is calling Other
Guy "girl" because he's the dominant since he shackled and enslaved Other Guy and Other Guy is now "the girl."
Girls aren't physically capable of "coming" from a distance; only guns fire from a distance, so there's physical evidence that "girl" is a guy. The speaker guy is telling Other Guy to "come" on"to the BACK" of him. Ya know, the back?
" VIP, go ahead be gone with it,
Drinks on me, go ahead be gone with it,
You see what you working with, go ahead be gone with it,
You make me smile, go ahead be gone with it,
Come here child, go ahead be gone with it,
Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,
Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,
Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,
Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,
Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,
Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,
Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,
Get your sexy on. "
All I have to say about this part is that the rhythm is reminiscent of the rhythm of, ya know.
[Verse 2: Timberlake]
" I'm bringing sexy back;
them motherf***ers don't know how to act.
Come let me make up for the things you lack,
cause you're burning up, I've got to get it fast.
Dirty babe, you see these shackles;
baby I�m your slave.
I�ll let you whip me if I misbehave;
it�s just that no one makes me feel this way. "
Blah blah blargh
[Chorus: Timbaland]
[Verse 3: Timberlake]
" I�m bringing sexy back;
them motherf***ers watch how I attack. "
Attack = euphemism for hitting up from THE BACK. He "attacks" differently, hense the use of a euphemism instead of the straight-forwardness that's present in most of this song.
" If that's your girl, better watch your back,
cause you're burning up for me, and that's a fact. "
Translation: "You have a girlfriend, but you're burning for a boyfriend like me, and that's a fact."
I get the impression that Other Guy is younger than the speaker and still too young (hence the line "Come here child" and all the S&M imagery) and is new to homo, and used to hetero thanks to his being the submissive type.
I'n not the pervert; this song is!
