What's so cool is that the song is very reminiscent of older upbeat dance music while still being cool enough to be played in modern dance clubs. (Does anyone know if it a reworking of a 60's song?) Then there are the tongue-in-cheek lyrics where very dodgy things are suggested, but sung in a way that they are almost disguised. It's quite clever, as is most of the album.
Here are the lyrics if you're interested.

My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know fa sho (Uh!)

But can't stand to see me walk out the do'
Don't try to fight the feeling

But got it just don't get it
Til theres's nothing at all (Ah!)
We get together
Oh, we get together
But separate's always better
When there's feelings involved (Oh!)
If what they say is 'nothing is forever,'
Then what makes

Then what makes (What makes? What makes?)
Love the exception?
So why oh, why oh
Why oh, why oh, why oh
Are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy here?
