Baby when I think about you
All I want to do
Be by your side
Take a little ride
Take a little
Baby you know I'm all about you
And all I want to do
Is take a little ride
Maybe get inside
Maybe get in

Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna take your mind
And then you'll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you

Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna steal your mind
And then you'll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you

Sour as my fingers
Dirty pick pocket
I can still taste you
I won't wash my hands
Red is the color
Of the sun with my eyes closed
I can still taste you
And I will again

Woman please I be your possession
You are my obsession
Let me go down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Down little place it digs to go
Down little place it digs to go
Down little place it digs to go
Down little place it digs to go

Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna steal your mind
And then you'll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you

Woman please I be your possession
You are my obsession
Let me go down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

    General Comment:Anybody here know what 7/8 time is? That's a 7 count of 8th notes per measure. Probably just one (if not the main reason) that he chose the title. Carter Beauford will rip faces off with his ability of playing this odd time signature on his behemoth drumset. Guess what other song is in 7/8....Pink Floyd's "Money". Watch the live versions of this song on youtube. in a word, arm-hair-raising.

    General Comment:In terms of the title of this song, it is a reference to the fact that the song has SEVEN bars, rather than the usual 4 or 8. The band referenced this in a documentary when the album came out.

    In terms of the lyrics, they are classic Dave; a mixture of sexual references with drug references. This isn't one of his better disguised songs, I think it's pretty obvious that it's about sex...but it could be about drugs (Mary Jane) too.

    My Interpretation:i think i cracked the code, or at least discovered my own interpretation of this song..
    and what an amazing, seductive song it is..

    ok here goes.

    everyone remember that episode of Friends where Monica goes over the seven erogenous zones on a woman?
    1,2,1,2,3,3,5,4,3,2,2,2,4,6,2,4,6,4,2,… 4,7,5,7,6,7,7,7,7,7, 7, 7! 7! 7! 7! 7!

    well.. i wonder if since the song is in general about wanting to go down on a girl, if he is talking about number 7 on the list of zones..
    number 7 on her list is the same area he wants to visit in this song..

    my first post.. lemme know your thoughts!!!

    General Comment:Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but this song is actually about mary jane. When Dave Played Mile High Music Fest last year just before playing this he said, "It's good to get here and get a little bit of Rocky Mountain HIGH. This song is about that particular thing. It's called Seven."

    General Comment:this song perfectly expresses the raw passion that both feel for eachother. This descriptive ode of sex by Dave is incomparable to any other work...red is the color of the sun with my eyes closed. absolutely hypnotic!

    General Comment:This song is about the yearning for sex and what most men like (giving head), yes I said what the others wouldn't, but hey if you're to young for that you probably shouldn't be listening to this song.
    So...
    Baby, babe, you know I'm all about you
    And all I wanna do is take a little ride
    Maybe get inside
    Maybe get in
    (means that every time he thinks about this girl he wants to lay beside her and do it
    Ma'ma told me boy someday that girl will take your mind and then you'll know
    I never knew, but I do now, I never knew, but I do now
    I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
    You, You, You, You, You, You, You
    (means that he was told that the girl he likes is going to be the center of his world, take over his mind, be the love of his life. This is the sweet part of the song)
    Sour as my fingers
    Dirty pick pocket
    I can still taste you
    I won't wash my hands
    (Okay this is X-rated, I can't see any other meaning except giving oral sex here)
    Red is the color of the sun with my eyes closed
    I can still taste you
    And I will again
    (Two meanings to this, bt the main one that grabs my attention, red is the color of down there, I can still taste you and I will again refers to repition of oral)
    Wanna drink it, wanna drink it
    Let me go down
    Let me go down, Let me go down, Let me go down
    Down, Down, Down, Down, Down
    ( C'mon could he be any more obvious here, seriously.)

    General Comment:I agree with everyone's interpretations of the song. I just wanted to say "I can still taste you. And I will again," is one of the sexiest lines ever written.

    General Comment:Oh yeah and I think the song is called Seven because that's how many minutes it takes him to 'get the job done down town'
    lol
    Notice he sings down consecutively 7 times. & also sings "you" consecutively 7 times

    General Comment:When I first heard this song the first thing that got my attention was the sassy melody at the beginning. Then after listening more I was taken away with the lyrics and shook my head at what I was hearing. Next thing I knew I was biting my lip.....

    What a sexy song. hee he =)
