    "Baby show me, what's your favorite trick that you wanna use on me / And I'll volunteer / And I'll be flowing, and going till clothing disappears / And nothing but shoes on me."

What Parents Need to Know

About "Love Sex Magic" (CD single)

Parents need to know that while this song lacks graphic language, the message is all about sex, plain and simple. Parents should be especially attuned to the video, which includes Ciara dancing on a strip-club stage and lots of full-body contact between her and Timberlake.

    I rate this title iffy for age 14 and give it 5.0

    I love the song but not real appropriate

    Great song. Catchy beat. All kids please have your parents approve the song before you put it on your iPod and start telling all your friends about it. It is not the best song for our age (10 - 14). It is inappropriate but great song.

    Not appropriate for kids

    this song is far from appropriate for kids any under 17. its full of sexual lyrics and get waaay to steamy for kids to listen to. you might think it will go over there heads but it doesn't. You wouldn't want this song to get stuck into their heads and to be singing this one. Skip this cd
