Listen first
Drinking references, mild innuendo, romantic obsession
Detailed Analysis
The lyrics are from Arctic Monkeys' 'Do I Wanna Know?' and contain no explicit profanity or graphic content, but do include several themes warranting parental guidance. The line 'Ever thought of callin' when you've had a few?' is a clear reference to drunk dialing and implies alcohol consumption. Romantic longing is the dominant theme, expressed through lyrics about dreaming of someone, wanting to kiss them, and hoping feelings are mutual. The tone carries mild sexual undertones — phrases like 'if your heart's still open and what time it shuts,' 'simmer down and pucker up,' and the repeated motif of late-night vulnerability ('the nights were mainly made for sayin' things you can't say tomorrow day') suggest a degree of romantic/physical tension beyond innocent crushes. The phrase 'crawlin' back to you' after drinking also implies emotionally dependent or impulsive relationship behavior. While there is no overt sexual content or profanity, the combination of alcohol references, late-night romantic pursuit, and subtle physical undertones places this in territory more suitable for mid-teens and above.

Lyrics
Have you got colour in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the type That sticks around like summat in your teeth? Are there some aces up your sleeve? Have you no idea that you're in deep? I've dreamt about you nearly every night this week How many secrets can you keep? 'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow And I play it on repeat until I fall asleep Spillin' drinks on my settee (Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sorta hopin' that you'd stay (Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made for sayin' things That you can't say tomorrow day Crawlin' back to you Ever thought of callin' when you've had a few? 'Cause I always do Maybe I'm too Busy being yours to fall for somebody new Now I've thought it through Crawlin' back to you So have you got the guts? Been wonderin' if your heart's still open And if so, I wanna know what time it shuts Simmer down and pucker up I'm sorry to interrupt, it's just I'm constantly on the cusp Of tryin' to kiss you I don't know if you feel the same as I do But we could be together If you wanted to (Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sorta hopin' that you'd stay (Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made for sayin' things That you can't say tomorrow day Crawlin' back to you (crawlin' back to you) Ever thought of callin' when you've had a few? (You've had a few) 'Cause I always do ('cause I always do) Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) Busy being yours to fall for somebody new (being yours) Now I've thought it through Crawlin' back to you (do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sorta hopin' that you'd stay (Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made for sayin' things That you can't say tomorrow day (Do I wanna know?) Too busy bein' yours to fall (Sad to see you go) Ever thought of callin', darlin'? (Do I wanna know?) Do you want me crawlin' back to you?
