Pour Some Sugar on Me Lyrics

Step inside, walk this way
You and me babe, hey! Hey!

Love is like a bomb baby c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp like a video vamp
Demolition woman can I be your man
Razzle 'n' dazzle 'n' flash a...

   Joplin, MO : What was the true meaning behind "Pour Some Sugar on Me"?
   
   Joe Elliott: There wasn't any meaning. That was the wonderful thing about the '80s. We were trying to write a song that was phonetically friendly. We grew up listening to David Bowie and Marc Bolan, who wrote great songs that didn't make sense. "Sugar" was just a great title. It's just an analogy for give it to me, baby. "I Want To Hold Your Hand"? Please.

   Pour Some Sugar On Me is strictly about sex. "Love is like a bomb, babe, c'mon get it on" is a dead give away. "take the bottle, shake it up, break the bubble, break it up", from what I understand is about the Climax.

   As much as I want to think it is all about hot nasty sex, I believe it is about drugs. It's just absolutely too clear that's what they are referring to...but they make it sound like it's about sex.

   Take the bottle
   Shake it up
   Break the bubble
   Break it up
   
   This part sounds like making crack to me. And pour sugar, like cocain.
   Also some Skeet Skeet(pearl necklace, cum shot)

    When we think about it, the song is about sex, to a very large extent. I cannot think of any other meaning to it. Or you can also consider it to be taking a break n relaxing from the stress.. but I highly doubt that's the meaning.

    I actually don't know what to think when I hear this song. I just LOVE the beat. My dad thinks something totally different when he hears it, and my mom forbids it to be heard. I trust YOU about the lyrics interpretations. Can you describe it just like you did in "She will be loved" Maroon 5, instead of like three sentences like you did in Love Story- Taylor Swift?
    
    Thank-you.
