I Have Been in You

About I Have Been in You

"I Have Been in You", by Frank Zappa, is the opening song on the 1979 album Sheik Yerbouti. Taking the structure of a love song pastiche, Zappa used the composition to ridicule Peter Frampton's album and single I'm in You. Zappa's parody was directed at Frampton's change from the earnest musician to teen pop idol, replete with bare chested album cover, and syrupy love ballads. The song is in the same vein as the Mothers of Invention's lampooning of the Beatles with We're Only in It for the Money. Lyrically, it describes a sex scene between a boy and girl, "I have been in you, baby/And you have been in me". Recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, Zappa later re-recorded the vocals at his personal studio, the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen facility, using a close micing technique. Musically, the bass singer and the bass guitar are giving a counter melody. When Zappa begins singing the song develops into a slow reggae beat. At various points Zappa sings slightly off beat, letting the speech lengths of the syllables prevail, which emphasises the lyrics. In concert, "I Have Been in You" was usually performed as part of a long medley, featuring "Flakes" and "Broken Hearts Are for Assholes". more »

Well, I have been in you, baby
You have been in me
And we have been so intimately
Entwined
And it sure was fine

I have been in you, baby
You have been in me
And so you see
We have be so together
I thought that we would never
Return from forever
(Return from forever)
(Return from forever)

You have been in me
And understandably
I have been in and outta you (in and outta you, in and outta you)
And everywhere
You want me to (in and outta you)
Yes, you know it's true

And while (I was inside)
I mighta been (undignified)
And that is maybe (why you cried)
I don't know
Maybe so, but what's the difference now?

(I have been in you, baby)
(You have been in me)
Aw, little girl, there ain't no time to wash yer stinky hand
Go 'head and roll over, I'm goin' in you again
In you again
In you again
In you again

I'm goin' in you again, aah! (in you again, aah!)
I'm goin' in you again, aah! (in you again, aah!)
I'm goin' in you again, aah! (in you again, aah!)
I'm goin' in you again, aah! (in you again, aah!)

I'm goin' in you again, baby
You can go in me too, it's true
I'm goin' in you again, baby
And later, when we get through

I'm goin' in you again, aah! (in you again, aah!)
In you again (I'm goin' in you again, aah!)
In you again (I'm goin' in you again, aah!)
In you again (I'm goin' in you again, aah!)
