Sex Type Thing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am, I am, I am
I said, I wanna get next to you
I said, I gonna get close to you
You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too
[Verse 2]
I ain't, I ain't, I ain't
A-buyin' into your apathy
I'm gonna learn ya my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity, atrocity?
[Chorus]
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know
[Verse 3]
I am a man, a man
I'll give ya something that ya won't forget
I said ya shouldn't have a-worn that dress
I said ya shouldn't have a-worn that dress, worn that dress
[Chorus]
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know
I am, I am, I am
I said, I wanna get next to you
I said, I gonna get close to you
You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too
[Verse 2]
I ain't, I ain't, I ain't
A-buyin' into your apathy
I'm gonna learn ya my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity, atrocity?
[Chorus]
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know
[Verse 3]
I am a man, a man
I'll give ya something that ya won't forget
I said ya shouldn't have a-worn that dress
I said ya shouldn't have a-worn that dress, worn that dress
[Chorus]
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know

About
Genius Annotation
Scott Weiland was compelled to write the lyrics after an incident in which a girl he was dating was raped by three high school football players after a party. Thus, Weiland has stated the song is an anti-rape statement, not a song simply about sex, saying:
This song is really not about sex at all. It’s about control, violence and abuse of power.
According to guitarist Dean DeLeo, the song “In the Light” by Led Zeppelin had a direct influence on the main riff in “Sex Type Thing”.
In an October 1997 interview in Seconds magazine, Glenn Danzig mentions the similarity of the main riff to the Danzig song “Snakes of Christ”.
