I’d be willing to bet a new listener my next paycheck he or she can’t figure out what Paula Cole is saying during the chorus of this song. I certainly didn’t, not before I read the official lyrics on her site. Not that it matters much. That scream session is the best part of this office sex fantasy.

Miss Cole plays the role of a secretary; the naughty type who smacks her masochistic boss in the face to make him “hard”. The climax is, as unintelligible as its lyrics may be, intensely gratifying, or at least gratifyingly intense. My only major gripe is that the first one only lasts four bars.
