[Verse 1]
I'm day dreamin of my future boyfriend
He's my favorite person and my number one friend
Every time I get drunk I try to seduce him
So I can't drink around him it's becoming a problem
I've only got two hands but I'm ambidextrous
I can do many things at the same time
They say it's dangerous but baby I'm just askin'
Is it promiscuous or is it multitaskin?
[Chorus]
I got a problem with monogamy
I don't think that it was meant for me
I got a boyfriend, it's not enough for me
31 flavors - boy, I gotta have variety
[Verse 2]
Ooh, baby I gotta tell you one thing first:
My methods are somewhat unconventional
And clash with that old cliche (hey, hey)
Save your corny ass candle light dinner for two
I'd rather have a hot all you can eat buffet
I need a lot of activity to stir my senses
I like it when it's real intense
When I'm with one man, I kinda feel like I'm dyin
So consider my infidelities self defense
[Chorus]
I got a problem with monogamy
I don't think that it was meant for me
I got a boyfriend, it's not enough for me
31 flavors - boy, I gotta have variety
[Bridge]
Ooh, baby I need 31 flavors and
I got quite an appetite
Maybe I'm a little sick
But at lease I ain't no anorexic
Guys don't like them skinny chicks
I just won't settle for a carrot stick
When I can have a chocolate cake
I'll bake you up and make you mine
Lick you up a thousand times
Ooh that boy looks mighty fine
And this one tastes so bland
But I should wait a half an hour
Or I could get a cramp
[Verse 3]
Mama says I shouldn't try to have a boyfriend
If one ain't enough for me
See my problem is I always tend to lose my focus
Maybe I got A.D.D
So don't be so disappointed baby
Perhaps the problem ain't you
I think I got over 30 personalities
And every single one needs some attention too
[Chorus]
I got a problem with monogamy
I don't think that it was meant for me
I got a boyfriend, it's not enough for me
31 flavors - boy, I gotta have variety
I got a problem with monogamy
I don't think that it was meant for me
I got a boyfriend, it's not enough for me
31 flavors - boy, I gotta have variety
