I like the song, have not seen anything "iffy" about it, i remember it mostly from a documentary that came with a sort of magazine publication on 9/11, good song!! :)

Still play it.
I don't understand how people don't realize she's being playful...

She's not meekly saying, "Leave me alone, please don't bother me anymore."

But it's already 50° F here and supposed to get near 60°

The meaning of the song was a lot different back then. These days in an era where sexual abuse and harassment are the closing themes to the decade it’s been misinterpreted. I think we should still play the song. Any sane person can see it does not condone the behaviour or is about it at all.

What I glean from the song is that the couple is already in a romantic relationship and the conversation is a type of foreplay. Nothing wrong with that. He may be trying to pressure her into something physical she's not ready for, but it doesn't really sound that way to me.
