Which song has lyrics that are just way too sexy?

Goo Ranking polled 1,121 people to find out what song lyrics they felt were ‘too sexy’. These were songs that didn’t need a video to make you blush and look away, but songs that could do that just with their choice in words.

A lot of you probably won’t be too surprised with the songs on this list, but I do feel the #1 spot rightfully deserves it with lyrics like “leave your seed inside of me! It’s okay if you don’t love me… because I don’t love you”. I mean, yikes!

Check out the full list below the cut and let us know what song you think would fit the list!

10. Otsuka Ai – “Kuroge Wagyu Joshio Tan Yaki 680 Yen”
9. Koda Kumi – “Ima Sugu Hoshii”
8. AAA – “Kuchibiru Kara Romantica”
7. Chouchou P – “E? Aa, sou.”
6. Ninomiya Kazunari (Arashi) – “Gimmick Game”
5. flumpool – “Quville”
4. NEWS – “Bambina”
3. L’Arc~en~Ciel – “XXX”
2. Sakurai Sho (Arashi) – “T.A.B.O.O”
1. Acid Black Cherry – “Black Cherry”
