Hey, mister businessman
Head of the company
Are you looking for a lady?
One who likes to please?
Hey, mister businessman
This one likes to tease
With a special service
And the French quantities
But she won’t sacrifice
What you want tonight
She won’t come across
Unless there’s money in her hand
And she’s callin’ all the shots
She got you by the balls, she got you by the balls
She got you by the balls, she got you by the balls
She got you by the balls
Hey mister businessman
High society
She can play the school girl
And spank you all you please
But she won’t sacrifice
What you want tonight
She won’t come across
Unless there’s money in her hand
She don’t go overtime
She got you by the balls, she got you by the balls
She got you by the balls, she got you by the balls
She got you by the balls
Kiss your balls goodbye
Hangin’ left, hangin’ right, got you by the balls
Got your shorts, got your curlies, got you
By the balls!
She got you by the balls, she got you by the balls
She got you by the balls, she got you by the balls
She got you by the balls, she got you by the balls
She got you by the balls, she got you by the balls
She got you by the balls
Power Dynamics and Provocative Play
“Got You By The Balls” by AC/DC is a hard-hitting rock anthem that explores themes of power, control, and transactional relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a businessman ensnared by a cunning woman who exerts dominance through seduction and wit. With tongue-in-cheek wordplay and bold imagery, the song delves into the interplay between desire and financial negotiation, highlighting how the tables can turn when someone knows exactly what they want and how to get it. AC/DC’s trademark rebelliousness is on full display, using humor and innuendo to underscore the risks of underestimating a clever adversary.
