Cruel Sexuality Lyrics

I've been talking to myself
Oh, I think I need your help
Oh, this love is make believe
Trapped inside a fantasy

And he came running out of the water
In the dead of the night he could see
As his shadow came towards her
She felt what she wanted to see
She whispered use me

What you touch you believe
It's a dangerous scene
When passion turns into greed

Cruel Sexuality
Am I a fool
To let you trouble me?
Cruel sexuality

I don't even know myself
'Cause I'm becoming someone else
Where is rationality
When I'm lost inside a dream
I say just use me

When you chose to deceive
It's a dangerous scene
When passion turns into greed

Cruel sexuality
Am I a fool
To let you trouble me?
Cruel sexuality
Sexuality

Oh, you make me happy in my everyday life
Why must you keep me in your prison at night?
Oh, you make me happy in my everyday life
Why must you keep me, why must you keep me

Oh, you make me happy in my everyday life
Why must you keep me in your prison at night?
Oh, you make me happy in my everyday life
Why must you keep me, why must you keep me

Oh, you make me happy in my everyday life
Why must you keep me in your prison at night?
Oh, you make me happy in my everyday life
Why must you keep me, why must you keep me

Oh, you make me happy in my everyday life
Why must you keep me in your prison at night?
Oh, you make me happy in my everyday life
Why must you keep me, why must you keep me

(Cruel sexuality) Oh, you make me happy in my everyday life
Why must you keep me in your prison at night?

(Am I a fool) Oh, you make me happy in my everyday life
(To let you trouble me?) Why must you keep me in your prison at night?

Cruel Sexuality

Elly Jackson tends to be elusive when questioned about her sexuality, and her response to various reviews of this track betrays the exhaustion of it all. The androgynous La Roux leader told The Observer: "Of course, because people see the word 'sexuality' and think: 'Oh my God you're gay! But sexuality just means you are a sexual person, and that song's not about me being: 'Oh no, I'm a lesbian!' or anything like that."

She added that this song is about "10 different subjects linked together."

Elly Jackson explained the song's meaning to NME: "It's melancholic in a sexual way, but it's not necessarily about having sex," she said. "It's that yearning melancholy, but not the kind you find in a Neil Young song. It's something I hear in old soul music and Motown."

"I listened to The Isley Brothers' 'This Old Heart Of Mine ' and the backing vocals in that second verse are the most sexual thing you've ever heard," Jackson added. "But it's kind of vulnerable... that kind of emotional frustration that has a kind of sexual overtone to it. It's constant and it keeps your adrenaline up."
