Dirty Love

Give My Heart To You

This laid-back reggae song of mine contains a "dirty" lyric that I originally thought would come across as an edgy witticism, but which I came to regret as a clumsy case of bad judgement.

You'll see what I mean if you read the lyrics to the second verse, as follows:

"You were born in riches & I was born in rags
And up to now we've always been in completely different bags
But here is where the change comes, from now on we'll be thick
Give me just your smile, Girl, & I will give you dick."

It seems naive now, but I originally intended "dick" to mean "nothing", as in "dick all", as in Sweet Dick All, a derivative of Sweet Fuck All, which means "Nothing".

Unfortunately, many have taken this intended edgy witticism as a reference to the male member, which suddenly plummets the song into the realm of gangsta rap.

We'll never know how many potential radio spins have been denied Ross's CD because of this Dirty ill-considered word.

Anyway, that's my story ---is that "dirty" enough for you?

Other than that, the song is quite a light love song with a couple of occult references thrown in.
