This song features a porn sample that, according to Derek, is featured on every one of their records. The only song I can recall where it is also heard is their “Chloroform remix”.
[Verse 1]
When I heard you were still alive
I must admit, I laughed, I cried
I found a stranger to high-five
I did the twist, I nearly died
I lit my ponytail on fire
I cut my bangs so short I sighed
What a thrill, love is a contact sport

Just because you can doesn't mean that you should
Is that understood? Oh, oh
If you
Could you? Would you?

Now I'm burning alive, 'cause you cut me in line
Love sucked, love sucked
He gave up up up up
[Chorus]
If you
Could you? Would you?
Just because you can doesn't mean that you should
Is that understood? Oh, oh
If you
Could you? Would you?
Just because you can doesn't mean that you should
Is that understood?

Look what it's done to me
There's a heart in my chest
Where a hole used to be
There's a hole in my chest
Where a heart used to be
I'm sending gummy bears to the electric chair
