Like most song interpretations, it's interesting to see other individuals' take on the lyrics.
I often wonder about the backgrounds and upbringing and experiences of many people who comment here; their comments, (and mine too), are telling of who they are, what they value, what their worldview is, religious or spiritual beliefs, etc.
This song isn't "dirty." It's sensual.
I really feel sorry for those who don't live in the sensual world, who regard lyrics with even a hint of sex as "dirty."
"Hike up your skirt a little more and show the world to me" is purposefully adolescent in its frankness, but it is also the words of a sensual, full grown adult. You can be reactionary and holler it's dirty, but that would be premature. Or, you can chill out and think of the slow love, the sensual love, and the mystery that is a woman.
I don't think it's right to shun the "dirty" description. This song isn't just sensual. That would make it just another slow love song. This is different. It IS dirty. But it's unique in that it's slow, heartfelt, and sensual which gives it the innocent desire to make love aspect of it but it's also shamelessly lustful. Afterall its a boys dream. A boy's imagination is innocent but wild.

I Saw an interview with carter. Dave wrote the song about his girlfriend ( now wife) He was said and missed her after she left the studio. It's about his deep love for his now-wife.
It's about the need to be with her and his true love for her both sexually and emotionally. HOW HE COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER.
This is from a founding band member. Dave sings about making love, not just sex.
