lyrics

Do you drool as I do when I look at you
My Darling?

When gaze in my eyes
Do you fantasize
My darling?

If so, there’s something I need you to know....

I can send you off dreaming at the end of the evening
With a kiss and a song from my soul
And when we awaken, such love we’ll making
That it’s almost a crime how much time we’ll be taking

Which is neat, but the fact is, I’m much like a cactus
I harbor a tender inside
Which is sweet, but my thick skin is studded with stickpins
And if you approach you’ll be denied and stuck bloody red
That being said let’s go to bed


I will not mislead you, I never shall need you
But miss, don’t you misunderstand
I need, as you know, the things you bestow,
So please give me something to miss when you g
We can bathe in a fountain on the a snowy white mountain
Tune our sighs to the cries of the birds
But alone in the valley after the finale
You’ll recall my warning words
And hang your head
That being said
Let’s go to bed

Or go right a head, baby, just walk away
But take my advice, you’ll be glad if you stay
I’ll set all attention to making you scream
‘Cuz there’s no motivation like low self-esteem

Girl, you’ll surely be burned ‘cuz you’re not worth a damn
Once you have learned what an asshole I am

If that doesn’t sway you, well, give it a shot.
But you’ve been admonished so don’t be astonished :

When we kneel at the altar under stained glass and spire
Then I abscond in a honda with a blond from the choir
If that doesn’t give you pause, darling by all means proceed
But be ready to bleed
Like you never have bled
That being said, let’s go to bed
