Sex Type Thing Lyrics

[Bridge]
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come

[Verse 1]
I am, I am, I am
I said, I wanna get next to you
I said, I'm gonna get close to you
You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too?

[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 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

[Bridge]
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come

[Outro]
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

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”.
