You Sure Love to Ball Appreciation This has got to be one of the sexiest songs there is and it's my personal theme song. That would make a cool thread wouldn't it? "What's Your Theme Song?" Anyway, as I listen to it, I realize there is more than meets the ear at first listen lyrically.
He tells her "Oooh baby, I'll make you feel so good. Stay with me baby, I'll love you night and day." (Reassuring her that he can keep up with her sexually) He has met a woman with a robust sexual appetite and is asking her to stay with him, to be with him only: at the end he says: pretty little sexy baby you sure love to ball (give all your love to me and we'll always be in love) or "give all your sex to me and we'll always be in love" because everyone knows the work "love" is used to disguise the word "sex" very often in popular music, R&B in particular. He also seems to express some doubt and then resolution about being with her: "Oh, I just love you that's all I've got my mind made up baby there's no doubt baby that you're my foxy lady" Perhaps he found himself conflicted about being with a woman who "loved to ball" because he feared he wouldn't be able to satisfy her or that her hypersexuality would drive her to stray. I've listened to this song for years and never truly "got it." Duh. [Edited 10/7/08 9:11am] [Edited 10/7/08 9:12am] | |

btw...is he saying "give up the booty to me" at the end? More than that, I think. He says "Give all your love to me and we'll always be in love". Which I think means "As long as you give ALL your sex to me ONLY, we'll always be in love." | |

True! Very risque for the time it was released! Indeed! Some radio stations wouldn't play this song because of the title.It was considered too risque. | |

Back then when they did a sexy song, there was still class to it. They finessed the lyrics and the music to convey the sexiness without being vulgar. Today it's like a porn set to music sometimes. LOL! Not that that is bad all the time, but I'd like to see today's artists do more with their so-called sexy songs. Look at Between The Sheets, | |

It goes back to old blues records, if the subject matter was about body parts or sexual acts, they didn't just come out and say it like artist (so-called) do today. There's no art in that. | |

Yes, give me some creativity, some artistry. I like a dirty song here and there sure no problem, but let's mix it up! | |

Ah, thanks for clearing up what he said in the song, I also thought he said "give up that body", but it's more deeper than that.
Love that song. That whole album is fucking brilliant!  | |
