"The chorus of the song goes... "All that she wants is another baby.." The intended meaning was “All that she wants is another lover... But of course, no native speaker of English understood it that way. We all thought the song was taking this really surprising angle: “All that she wants is to get pregnant."
Is this true? I never had such confusion about this song, and the Wikipedia page for it doesn't mention it.
It seems more likely that a non-native English speaker would have misinterpreted the lyric -- lyrics often don't intend the literal meaning of the words and the use of "baby" as "lover" is pretty widely known.
