Nothing says I love you like a crack to the jaw
One more like that, I crawl out the door
Baby gets what baby wants
You know I'm sure
One man's mother is another man's whore
Hardly likely you'll be alone for long
Give the wolves something to chew on
Try as though you might to hide it
You can't, right?
Policy just depends on height
You come when called.
Nothing says I love you like a shot to groin
My mouth shows me which team to join
You come when called.
You're words are all I've got to believe
You owe them all to me
You come when called.
You know what's happening here
You come with love in your eyes
You'll wait.
Your mask on my bedpost keeps me cold to the touch
I'll keep you held down until your will turns to rust
You'll wait.
I've got my best weight on
I've got my best weight.
I've got my best weight on
I've got my best weight.
I did my best

It's a certain situation when you bite down softy
That's all that's needed to sever my heart strings
Now I've been down with education from the start
I know, I know
Fuss with everything till it hurts.
Everybody's got a certain swagger these days
But it's less impressive though
I think it's the only way to go
We love to celebrate because the world is burning
Anything less is just disturbing
Now I've been down with education from the start
It's brought me down this far
Fuss with everything till it hurts
Till it hurts!
Everybody's got a certain swagger these days
But it's less impressive though
I think it's the only way to go
Everybody's got a certain lover to kill
I've got mine, I'm sure
Well if you want it that way
Left to hold your breath until another stays
And you hate it.

Sweet Condoleezza, is it treason if I'm thinking bout your silky black skin?
I'll believe ya. I'll believe whatever you say to the television.
It's not too late. It's not too late...
Incoming, oh. Incoming, Oh.
If you're sour, it makes some cower but to me it's the hand in the glove.
It's exciting... so inviting how you flirt with your power skirt on.
It's not too late. It's not too late...
Incoming, oh. Incoming, Oh.
I want you but you are under the weight of another man.
How I want you oh, you are under the weight of another man.
It's far too late. It's far too late...
Incoming, oh. Incoming, Oh.
I'll keep the home fires burning because everyone invests in failure.
It's in our nature to think we're wrong, most everyone... they can't stand winning.

The first time you held me to your breast, mountains fell.
The next time you hold, another like that...
help you both.
Miscommunication, the rot-gut of man.
Here we stand.
Miscommunication, what held us together...
and what I miss most.

He never knew what hit him.
Oh this I'm sure.
A loose and careless window
would become my door.
The heavy burden of his books were strong
But he was light.
I never thought you'd fall for the scholarly type.
All this for You.
He never knew what hit him.
Oh this I'm sure
There's a silence in waiting
for you to just want more.
All this for You.
Hear the words again:
"Listen up, I've got Something!"
to take you off of him.
"Listen up, I've got Something!"

So you came when I called
does it mean I've got to hold
your body down?
Ten city blocks, a nip of scotch is all it takes
to bring you around.
Legs spread under a lampshade gown
I've got to hold my head upon.
I figured out, long ago, it was you
that would do me harm.
Well I've been taught to get up, ah oh...
I've seen this face before.
But you've been wasted and you beg to bite the low
approaching lure
I've got the drugs but it's tasteless to slaughter when you hold your neck in my grips
But you've got to receive, yea you've Got to receive...
It's your willingness that makes me Sick.
