Perhaps one of their boldest songs, DC Talk’s “I Don’t Want It” is a clear-cut proclamation of exercising sexual abstinence, lightly parodying the popular George Michael hit “I Want Your Sex.” With each member of the outspoken rap-rock trio being in various stages of a romantic relationship at the t...
[Intro: TobyMac]
Do you copy?
[Refrain: TobyMac]
S-E-X is test when I'm pressed
So back up off with less of that zest
Impress this brother with a life of virtue
The innocence that's spent is gonna hurt you
Safe is the way they say to play
Then again safe ain't safe at all today
So just wait for the mate that's straight from God
And don't have sex 'til ya tie the knot
[Chorus: Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Mark Heimermann, TobyMac & Todd Collins]
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, want your sex for now
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it
I don't want it 'til we take the vows
[Verse 1: Kevin Max, Michael Tait, TobyMac, Michael Tait & TobyMac]
Girl, it's gonna take a little time for us to see (The truth)
That love is simply more than fulfillin' the need (For S-E-X)
Respect (Respect) is what we need to find the cure for this disease (Of lust)
And trust (And trust) in God above to shape our lives in harmony
Do you copy?
That's why I'm sayin'…
[Chorus: Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Mark Heimermann, TobyMac & Todd Collins, Kevin Max]
I don't want it (Don't want it), I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, want your sex for now (—ow)
I don't want it (Don't want it), I don't want it, want it
I don't want it 'til we take the vows
[Post-Chorus: TobyMac]
Uh, yeah
Red Leader, I don't think I copy that
Uh, did you say you don't want sex for now?
I'm confused
Could you clarify?
Over
[Verse 2: Michael Tait, TobyMac, Michael Tait & TobyMac]
Girl, they say that it takes two to make a thing go right (For love)
But girl, we gotta remember there's another in our lives (In God we trust)
We must (We must) add up the cost before indulging in the heat (For now)
And trust (And trust) that God will give us somethin' better if we wait
Is that affirmative?
That's why we got to say…
[Chorus: Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Mark Heimermann, TobyMac & Todd Collins, Michael Tait]
I don't want it (Don't want it), I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, want your sex for now (For now)
I don't want it (Don't want it), I don't want it, want it
I don't want it 'til we take the vows
[Bridge: Kevin Max]
1-900-L-O-V-E
S-E-X is on the TV
Too much skin is in your vision
You gotta make the right decision
God has set His standard higher
Purity is His desire
I'm gonna choose to wait (Wait)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Break: TobyMac]
I don't want it
I don't want it
I don't want your sex for now
[Refrain: TobyMac]
Yo, S-E-X is a test when I'm pressed
So back off with less of that zest
Impress this brother with a life of virtue (Life of virtue)
The innocence that's spent is gonna hurt you (Gonna hurt you)
Safe is the way they say to play (Safe to play)
But then again safe ain't safe at all today (All today)
So just wait for the mate that's straight from God (Straight from God)
Don't give it up 'til ya tie the knot
[Chorus: Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Mark Heimermann, TobyMac & Todd Collins, Kevin Max, TobyMac]
I don't want it (Don't want it), I don't want it (I don't want), want it
I don't want it, your sex for now (Your sex for now)
I don't want it (Don't want it), I don't want it (I don't want), want it
I don't want it, I don't want your sex
[Breakdown: TobyMac, Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Mark Heimermann, TobyMac & Todd Collins, TobyMac, Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Mark Heimermann & Todd Collins]
I don't want your sex for now
I don't want it
Until we take the vows
I don't want it, want it
Even if they dog me out
I don't want it
I don't want your sex
I don't want your sex for now
I don't want it
Until we take the vows
I don't want it, want it
Even if they dog me out
I don't want it
I don't want your sex
I don't want your sex for now
I don't want it
Until we take the vows (No S-E-X)
I don't want it, want it
Even if they dog me out
I don't want it
I don't want your sex
I don't want your sex for now
I don't want it
Until we take the vows (No S-E-X)
I don't want it, want it
Even if they dog me out
I don't want it
I don't want your sex
[Outro: TobyMac]
Red Leader, Red Leader, I don't think I copy
Your sex for now!
