As part of a new blog series entitled Pop-Culture Poetry: Literature for the Illiterate, I give you Mariah Carey's hot new single, Touch My Body.

May the graceful language and poetic brilliance consume you.

It certainly has me.


Touch My Body
Mariah Carey

MC ... uh uh uh in the place to be


Oh yea oh yea oh yea oh yea oh yea oh yea oh yea oh yea oh yea

I know that you been waitin' for it
I'm waitin' too
In my imagination I be all up on you
I know you got that fever for me hundred and two
And boy I know I feel the same
My temperature's through the roof

If it's a camera up in here
Then it's gonna leave with me when I do
(I do)
If it's a camera up in here
Then I best not catch this flick on Youtube
(Youtube)

'Cuz if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
'Cuz they be all up in my business like a Wendy interview
But this private between you and I

Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play wit me some more
Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste
Touch my body
Know you like my curves
C'mon and give me what I deserve
And touch my body

You can put me on you like a brand new white tee
I'll hug your body tighter than my favorite jeans
I want you to caress me like a tropical breeze
And float away with you in a Caribbean sea

If it's a camera up in here
Then it's gonna leave with me when I do
(I do)

'Cuz if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
'Cuz they be all up in my business like a Wendy interview
But this private between you and I

Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play wit me some more
Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste
Touch my body
Know you like my curves
C'mon and give me what I deserve
And touch my body

Imma treat you like a teddy bear
You won't wanna go nowhere
In the lap of luxury
Laying intertwined with me
You won't want for nothing boy
I will give you plenty of joy

Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play wit me some more
Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste
Touch my body
Know you like my curves
C'mon and give me what I deserve
And touch my body

Fin.
