Take your shoes off! Everyone is loving Sabrina Carpenter's 'House Tour' and the video but what are the lyrics about?
You don't have to be a Sabrina fan to know she has a gift for sexual metaphors. Over the course of her career to date, Sabrina has come up with increasingly hilarious and creative ways to describe the act of sex in her music. Hit songs like 'Nonsense' and 'Bed Chem' take horniness to new levels and her recent single 'Tears' is a testament to that.
However, Sabrina's song 'House Tour' arguably tops them all and people are only just realising what the Man's Best Friend track is actually about now that Sabrina has released the music video starring The Substance star Margaret Qualley and Outer Banks actress Madelyn Cline. Scroll down to find out the hidden meaning in 'House Tour'.

What do Sabrina Carpenter's 'House Tour' lyrics mean?
On first glance, Sabrina's 'House Tour' appears to be a song about inviting someone home after a date. Sabrina sings: Thank you for dinner baby I had a really great time / I really loved the conversation and that your car self-drives / The pineapple air freshener is my favorite kind / Well, this is me, but if you have time / Do you want the house tour?
However, if you listen closely it quickly becomes clear that Sabrina is singing about sex. Not only that but the house tour in question relates to her body. Sabrina is offering a tour of her own "design". Sabrina references first, second and third base by singing: I could take you to the first, second, third floor.
More explicitly, Sabrina sings: I just want you to come inside / But never enter through the back door / House tour.
She even references waxing and birth control by adding: I spent a little fortune on the waxed floors / We can be a little reckless ’cause it's insured.
Taking the metaphor further in the bridge, Sabrina states: My house was especially built for you / Some say it's a place where your dreams come true.

Turning the phrase "house tour" into a tongue in cheek sexual innuendo? Pretty legendary if you ask me.
Sabrina Carpenter - 'House Tour' lyrics
INTRO
Take your shoes off
VERSE 1
Thank you for dinner, baby, I had a really great time
I really loved the conversation and that your car self-drives
The pineapple air freshener is my favorite kind
Well, this is me, but if you have time
CHORUS
Do you want the house tour?
I could take you to the first, second, third floor
And I promise none of this is a metaphor
I just want you to come inside
Baby, what's mine is now yours
VERSE 2
(Haha)
The couch is really comfy, comfy
Got some Chips Ahoy if you’re hungry, hungry (Oh)
You don't need to love me, love me, lovе me
I'm just so proud of my design (To dim the lights)
CHORUS
Do you want thе house tour?
I could take you to the first, second, third floor (We can take it to the—)
And I promise none of this is a metaphor (Ah)
I just want you to come inside (Come inside)
But never enter through the back door
House tour
Yeah, I spent a little fortune on the waxed floors
We can be a little reckless ’cause it's insured
I'm pleasured to be your hot tour guide
Baby, what's mine is now yours (Woo)
POST-CHORUS
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Co-come on, bae, oh
Well, baby, if you come outside, if you come outside
I will let you in
BRIDGE
My house is on Pretty Girl Avenue
My house was especially built for you
Some say it's a place where your dreams come true
My house could be your house too
OUTRO
Oh
So, um, are you coming in or what?
