Other controversial parts of the song include:
- “Boy, I like that you ain’t afraid; baby, lay me down and let’s pray; I’m tellin’ you the way I like it, how I want it.”
- “You different from the rest; and boy, if you confess, you might get blessed.”
- “I’ll tell you all the things you should know; so, baby, take my hand, save your soul.”
REALLY?
