Eh, a lot of people dislike this song because the lyrics are semi-rapist, what with the whole "No, don't go home, stay here and have a couple drinks more"Same as the people who dislike Santa Baby. They're just quite sexual
The neighbors might think(Baby, it's bad out there)Say what's in this drink?(No cabs to be had out there)
I ought to say, "No, no, no sir"(Mind if I move in closer?)At least I'm gonna say that I tried(What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)
