R. Kelly's line is the part I care about the most!

Some of the lyrics to the song though seems a bit weird. I understand her intentions but it almost seems like she's encouraging rape by saying use my body but you can't have my heart or my mind.

I guess it's more related to a one night stand where you protect your heart because you don't want to fall in love with a one nighter and they won't get intellectual convos out of you because you are just in it for the sex. I'm sure there's also a double meaning to it where she's associating it with the media and fame.
Even just looking up the lyrics for five minutes it seems pretty obvious it's a song using rape as a metaphor for the tabloid media. Don't get your panties in a twist.
