Actually I didn't see anything wrong with the lyrics, either (after all, it's just about sex and BJ have such songs in their catalogue, no big deal)...until I came across a little dirty explanation as to what exactly the title means ;]
I guess it wasn't even about this particular song or band, just the concept/phrase itself. Playing with words can be very sexual, indeed.

btw. I LOVE rock ballads, the rockers can sing about love (snd lust, sex and stuff) like no other

yes, it's not only sexist (reducing women to sex objects), but it's very racist too!! how can he sing about labor and compare it to love after centuries of african american slavery...very sad!!!

jon used to be my idol, now he's such an asshole....

so yeah, i totally agree with you, go girl!!!

Haahaha yeah exactly!

Actually it is of the funnest funiest songs they have.

Labor is ok-ish. It is indeed cheesy without the sense of naivete other cheesy BJ songs have. It has a bit boring orchestration even if it achieves a certain ambience. It lacks backing vocs.
