At first listen it doesn't stand out as anything more than a confessional, but it's darker and tighter than most cookie-cutter classics: she rhymes "pussy" with "fishy". And that line - "so tight it's like he moves when she stretches" - is straight out of Pablo Neruda (Sonnet XVII for the geeks: "so close that your hand on my chest is my hand//so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep").
