Description
It smells like something sticky, like caramel that melted in the sun and is now stuck to my fingers. It feels like you're about to snap and end up in that same "sticky situation" again, where common sense is wrapped in foil and forgotten somewhere on a shelf. Everyone understands everything, but they pretend they don't. Because it's good, isn't it? Because the body had already decided before the head. The voice stretches like sweet gum, sometimes saying "I don't want to," then "okay, come in." And somewhere in all of this lives the honest answer to the question "What is love?" - not in philosophy, but in a short "slide through" under a beat that rocks in perfect time with self-deception.
Lyrics and translation
Original
What is love? I'm in a sticky, sticky situation, oh (ooh)
And I know where this could go, so I won't fold (ooh, maybe I won't)
'Cause I think your favorite letters is "P.M," that's when you need it
Oh, how convenient? (Oh, convenient)
First, you just call me
Said you'd be here, then you repeat it (ooh, ooh)
But I still tell you, "Slide through"
Make me feel good
Do me like you should, babe (babe, yeah)
Baby, slide through
Make me feel good
Do me like you should, babe
What is love? I'm in a sticky, sticky situation, oh (ooh)
(And I know where this could go), so I won't fold (ooh)
(What am I thinking right now, man?)
So, what's the definition of a party (party), if you ain't going with nobody?
Need morning slow jams to vibe to, Jodeci to ride to
I need you to slide through (slide through)
Make me feel good (make me feel good)
Do me like you should, babe (babe, yeah)
What is love? (what is, what is?) What is love?
I don't know how I'm so, so confused
So why I'm telling you, slide through
Make me feel good (make me feel good)
Do me like you should, babe (babe, yeah)
(Baby, slide through)
(Make me feel good)
Ooh, oh, oh
