What's got you so jumpy?
Why can't you sit still, yeah?
Like gasoline you want to pump me
And leave me when you get your fill, yeah
Every time I touch you honey you get hot
I want to make love you never stop
Come up for air you push me to the floor
What's been going on in that head of yours

[Chorus]
Unskinny bop
Just blows me away
Unskinny bop, bop
All night and day
Unskinny bop, bop, bop, bop
She just loves to play
Unskinny bop nothin' more to say

You look at me so funny
Love bite got you acting oh so strange
You got too many bees in your honey
Am I just another word in your page, yeah, yeah
Every time I touch you honey you get hot
I want to make love you never stop
Come up for air you push me to the floor
What's been going on in that head of yours

[Chorus]

You're sayin' my love won't do ya
But that ain't love written on your face
Well honey I can see right through ya
We'll see whose ridin' who at the end of the race

What's right
What's wrong
What's left
What the hell is going on

[Chorus]

    General Comment:FYI to all the younger music fans. If you were a guy in the 80s who actually liked Poison you would get your ass beat like a drum. If you wanna know all about Poison just look at their first album cover (and No it wasn't cool at the time).

    General Comment:I heard it was about CC and a couple of chubby prostitutes one night when CC was drunk and on substances. Bret, Rikki, and Bobby walked in the next morning and CC was passed out and the prostitues were leaving. Safe to say Bret cried he laughed soooo hard and CC doesn't remember a thing.

    General Comment:This song is about sex and confusion

    Regarding those who think this song is unsophisticated, I beg to differ. This is the most philosophical cock rock song ever written and performed. It's like Jackyl meets Descartes.

    General Comment:This is a terrible song. I love rock music, nearly all rock music. But I prefer bands with lyrical depth.

    With the Beatles you get "Hey Jude", with The Rolling Stones you get "Paint it Black", with Aerosmith you get "Sweet Emotion", AC/DC give you "Hell's Bells". Queensryche has "Empire", "Silent Lucidity", and the entire "Operation Mindcrime" album.

    With Poison you get "Unskinny Bop" and "Talk Dirty to Me".

    Come on Bret, keep it in your pants for like 5 minutes.

    General Comment:In the song "Home (Bret's Story)" it makes reference to Unskinny Bop... Bret says...
    "Nick asks me what the hell unskinny bop means,
    it's slang for C.C. banging a prono queen "

    General Comment:Yeah an easy bassline, but the rhythm guitar in the verses is pretty sweet.

    General Comment:this has to be one of the lamest lyrics in rock history. Riddled with bad rock cliches, a bassline so simple a monkey could play it, and Unskinny = phat. Clever, no. Poison had some OK songs, but I cant believe people actually like this one. ?
