I love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
You lock me up inside your dirty cage
Well I'm alone inside my mind

I'd like to teach you all the rules
I'd get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
But then your secrets never shone

I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no

I can't control you, you can't control me
I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?

I love the way you rake my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
Cause I'm that guy you'll never find

I think you know all of the rules
There's no expressions on your face
I'm hope that some day you will let me go
Release me from my dirty cage

I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no

I can't control you, you can't control me
I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no

I can't control you, you can't control me
I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?

You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no

    Song Meaning:So, as I listen to this song I have to say I believe it's a love song.
    I think It started as a 'sex only' relationship. like friends with benefits type of thing maybe.
    and then the guy started falling for the girl. and so he's bitter because he love's her, but she doesn't return the feelings.

    "I'm faking all of the rules
    there's no expressions on your face
    I'm hoping some day you will let me go
    Release me from my dirty cage"

    I think that the rules he's talking about, are the "don't fall in love" rule.
    He doesn't want to leave her. or he feels that he simple CANT leave her. so it's up to her to end things.

    I think the whole 'I cant control you' is that they aren't in a relationship. she doesn't have any reason to stay with him - he can't control her emotions. And then he contradict himself by saying "I have control of you", because all she wants from him is sex. and he'll take what ever affection she would give him.

    General Comment:This song is very heavily toned with BDSM but it seems like one or the other in the song is trying to top the Dom/me from the bottom! As a collared submissive this is something i have never done as i would not want to reap the punishment of such a crime :P

    General Comment:This song has next to no poetic value and yet it has a play count of over 500 on my iPod. It's a good song to listen to when you're not in the mood to think and you just want sex. I love how blunt it is, no twisted meanings, no real 'moral of the story'. Just a song that makes you want to scream and grab your partner around the neck and *ahem*. Poetically, I'd give it a 1.5, maybe. But for energy, I'd give it a 9.5.

    Also - Ha! These flame wars are amusing, and slightly annoying. If I ever found the time, I'd make a real music site where real people could post what they thought the song meant, and comments would be regulated to filter out the idiots.
