Don't turn away, this is my time
Don't make demands, I don't take none
Just say a prayer that it gon' get done
Don't pull your pants before I go down
Don't turn away, this is my time
Like a shotgun needs an outcome
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some
Like a shotgun needs an outcome
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some
Go ahead, go way low in my honey lovin' arms
Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no wrong
Got you around my finger like a lonely lover's charm (like a lonely lover's charm)
Just like a man, I'm the fortress
Like a shotgun, I can't be outdone
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some
Like a shotgun needs an outcome
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some
Go ahead, go way low in my honey lovin' arms
Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no wrong
Got you around my finger like a lonely lover's charm
Go ahead, go
Go ahead, go
Go ahead, go
Go ahead, go!
Go ahead, go
Go ahead
Eh!
Go ahead, go way low in my honey lovin' arms
Go ahead, go way low, where I can do no wrong
Got you around my finger like a lonely lover's charm (like a lonely lover's charm)
Likee a loneely lover's chaarm
This is so awesome. I can't believe it's not getting more attention.
I think it's about the sinful pleasure of using your sexuality to control another person. "Gon' go West", i.e. I'll take control and lead you.
Or maybe she's just madly in love. :P
Actually, this is the real meaning of this song.

"Li says those offended by the line don't understand: "It's kind of shocking to be talking about power and to make a statement about how I feel being a woman in the music industry, and all of a sudden I'm labeled as a victim and a real prostitute," she says."

This is about the power of a woman over a man. She's in control of his pants, not him. He must shut up. She doesn't take demands, all he can do is pray. His sexual needs are his weakness, which means he's wrapped literally and metaphorically around her finger. She performs oral as an act of power to reduce his mind to jelly.
it's not about sex.. This is what Lykke said to a swedish newspaper: (translated)

Interviewer: ...Is it something like that that you are referring to in your new song "Get Some", in which you are singing "I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some?"

Lykke: No, but that's what people seem to think. It's about... to be happy for living your dream and to get four out of five stars in a magazine. So okay, I thought,...

The chorus is catchy.
why would you want more attention on her? she's the best, she shouldn't be mainstream
If anyone here is a Batman fan, this is the theme for the Catwoman Reveal trailer for the game Batman: Arkham City.
It fits well :P
It obviously is about sex. But when she says its not about sex, she means that she is using it as a metaphor for her control over publicity/the music industry (or something like that).
There really couldn't be much more obviously sexual lyrics without being blatantly explicit. "Don't pull your pants before I go down," "Like a shotgun needs an outcome," "I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some" come on...
also the video and rubbing her area down yonder

Stuck in my head.
This is about a woman choosing to use her appeal for power. The lyrics lead us to believe it is sexual power over a man, but I think it could apply to a lot more. She knows what you want and will use it to her advantage, in the bedroom or in the music industry.
"A lot of people think it's about sex," she says. "But it's about power. I was reading the Murakami book The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, where she goes into this guy's mind by making him fantasise about her, so it's kind of like powerplay. As soon as a woman does anything, they seem to hit a nerve and it's back to sex. At least men seem to think that."
I love the drums on this song.
