Rem - Skin Tight Lyrics
Lyrics Translation
Released in 1989, "Skintight" by R.E.M. is a live cover of the Ohio Players' track from their 1974 album Skin Tight. Recorded during the Green tour in Orlando, Florida, the song was released as a B-side to the single "Stand". Written by James Williams, Billy Beck, Clarence Satchell, Leroy Bonner, Marshall Jones, and Ralph Middlebrooks, R.E.M. stays true to the original's funk and groove style.
Song lyrics
Yeah, yeah
You are a bad bad Mrs
In them skin tight britches
Runnin' folks in ditches
Baby about to bust the stitches, yeah
Skin tight, skin tight
Skin tight, skin tight
Hold tight
You are a real fine lady
Though your walks a little shady
Step on the strip on time
There's money you're bound to find, yeah
Skin tight, skin tight
Skin tight, skin tight
Skin tight, skin tight
Hold tight
Gone, gone, gone with your bad self
Walk that walk, talk that talk mama
Skin tight
Hold me barely back girl
Keep on steppin' to me baby
