I feel a hunger
OK, then grab a Snickers. It really satisfies, I'm told.
It's a hunger that tries to keep a man awake at night.
Now I get it! The hunger is a boner! Thanks for the clarity, Mr. Money. And good luck with that Woodrow.
Are you the answer?
I shouldn't wonder when I feel you whet my appetite
You got that right, Eddie. If some fine piece of tang is actually in your bed "whetting" your appetite then just go with the flow. Don't question the answer in the middle of heat, my man. Close your eyes and pretend that she's actually the answer if that helps. It worked for me in college many times. At least wait to ponder that question until after the whetting is complete. Live in the Now. Enjoy the Moment. Namaste.
With all the power you're releasing
Oh god. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. If you're going to shoot your power all over the place when it's being released, please aim the spewing of that information away from this song lyric. This is disgusting. This song deserves a "Parental Advisory" sticker, you sick mullet having man.
It isn't safe to walk the city streets a
Anticipation is running through me
These song lyrics get funny in a hurry! It isn't safe to walk the streets when Eddie is on the prowl? You've got to be kidding. Is THIS a mug to be afraid of?
No, it's not. Many humans could easily kick this guy's ass. So quit trying to act tough, Eddie.
Wait a second. I TOTALLY misinterpreted these lyrics! I believe that Eddie is saying that it's not safe for hot chicks to walk the street at night because he is totally going to score with them! His "anticipation" (yet another love juice metaphor) running through him is something that may scare chicks. But obviously they won't be able to resist. It's Eddie Money, yo. And he's pure sex panther.
Let's find the key and turn this engine on.
This lyric is easy to interpret. Eddie and his conquest are quickly scrambling to find a condom/diaphragm so that they can commence the banging. Duh.
I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heartbeat faster
Of course you can feel her breathe and her heart beat faster, Eddie. She's naked and underneath your skinny hips getting laid by an 80's rock/pop star!
Take me home tonight!
Honestly, from previous lyrics it sounds like you're already home and getting busy. But, hey, I'm down with some time jumping in songs. Especially when it comes to a chorus as awesome as this one. I've sung "take me home tonight!" to a young hot at a bar many times. And sometimes it works (if they're totally in to 80's music).
I don't want to let you go till you see the light!
OK, Eddie. We get it. You're a superstar lover who uses the night time to make the love and the day time to sleep and get ready for the night time when you make the love again. Even though this isn't an innovative lyric, the "take me home tonight! -- I don't want to let you go till you see the light!" combo is truly one for the ages. A perfect lyric in a perfectly 80's 80's song. Does that make sense?
Take me home tonight!
Listen honey
just like Ronnie sang: Be my little baby!
OK, I'm going to drop a little knowledge on everyone here. This mentioning of "Ronnie" is really strange but there is a back story. Ronnie is Ronnie Spector of the Ronettes and the "Be my little baby" line is swiped from the Ronettes' song "Be My Baby". Thank you, Wikipedia. Kind of cool I guess. If you're living in the 80's.
I get frightened in all this darkness
I get nightmares
I hate to sleep alone
I need some company
Glorified closer line used on hotties at the club? Oh hell yes! This line worked in 1986 in 17 out of every 20 women Eddie Money propositioned who were in his VIP section. You'd be amazed at what lines work on the ladies after many drinks.........especially if you sport a feathery mullet and wear tight, black Levis.
A guardian angel to keep me warm when the cold winds blow!
I never knew that guardian angels kept people warm. I always thought that they kept an eye on you when bad stuff was going down. But I guess that any self respecting guardian angel should have a blanket in tow when doing their job.
Who am I kidding? This was just another cheese ball pre-coitus pick up line that Eddie used constantly in the mid to late 80's. I can't believe that the young hots actually fell for this!
Lyrics repeat, instruments are played. Ronnie say: "Be my little baby" a few more times and Eddie Money scores another poofy haired groupie in a jacket with shoulder pads and mini skirt. This song is not a telling of a getting laid story by Mr. Money. It is more of a pick up line guidebook filled with statements that obviously only worked in the mid to late 80's. Although cheesy to the max, this guidebook approach is what makes these lyrics and hence, this song, great. Thank you for sharing your wisdom Mr. Money. You Sex Panther.
