We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

[Chorus]
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way your hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

You want love?
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

[Chorus]

Damn, baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

[Chorus]

Your body is a wonderland

    General Comment:Seems to have been well explained already. Interesting song about really deep love and friendship. Yes, really really deep. Such immense love and caring. Oh, love that lasts a lifetime. Mmm Mmm Mmm...just so deep and so much love and loyalty around this song. Yes, love. Great love. Passionate love. Lasting ever after love. LOL.

    Can you tell I think it's a most stupid song. It's boring. A snoozer. It's mundane. If he's gonna write and sing a song about sex, it should hold raw immense emotion. This is just pathetic. But hey, it's pefect for those who think Sex On Fire is a great song ;-)

    General Comment:It's about enjoying the wonderland, although the land and the wonder may have to wait until school is back in session and mommy and daddy have sent back the little one in their car with the insurance they pay for with money in his/her pocket to spend, the Gucci handbag; the fashionable jeans; the Pink bras, the heels, and of course the Hubba Bubba. LOL. Big egos, small penis's, graying hair, and a life calendar that gives him/her what is needed. Happy Happy week until Mr./Ms wonderlust returns. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm relationships based on just sex. How incredibly special and unique.

    General Comment:Beautiful song. He really puts feeling into this one. It's a song about a relationship, not a flig which makes the song more special. Awakened to this today in Brazil. Always a nice greeting in the morning. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and soon-to-be moms....no great job on Earth:)

    General Comment:LOL...the song kind of loses it's meaning when one is an unpaid whore who is incapable of either giving or receiving love:) Ah...such a temporary song...days weeks or months. Let's all take bets. We'll all win unless we say it will last a lengthy period of time:) And let's bet on the age of the victim....gotta be young so s/he doesn't know what hit her (maybe even literally).

    General Comment:Great song, but I guess s/he has to be in town to enjoy 'em. The song is obviously about sex. The guy is just such a compassionate, loving, kind guy in that he's worried her head might hit the bed. LOL. Sounds like the song some guy with a little pecker might sing...he has to appear compassionate 'cause he's inadequate in size (and most likely in routine....BORING sameness:)

    General Comment:It's FRIDAY. Bab's gonna see some real action. Pound the chest; lay on the charm; toss in a few grunts; and you're good to go!

    General Comment:I actually really like the song. Others may like it more. It's obvious what it's about. He's in love ("I know you are mine all mine all mine") and she has a great body that he has sex with nightly...or many times a night...and mornings...and afternoons. Have to chuckle about that "bubblegum tongue." Is she under age, for gawd's sake! Good song, though. More power to those who have a healthy and safe sex life, especially those truly in love married couples out there.

    My Opinion:gosh. this song is DISTURBING. i mean, seriously john mayer?! you're gonna write a song about how great sex is? that's so not classy at all. i dont want to hear about how you love to bang your girlfriend. and if a guy sang this to me, gosh, i would slap him as hard as i could and he would be out the door in an instant.
