[Verse 1]
Earnest little lover, little mystery man
Nothing thrills you like denial
There's nothing wrong with the need to please
And children know no shame
[Verse 2]
Baby, on your bended knees
And she'd love to play your game
She's a curious girl, easily swayed by your force of will
Empty to be filled with the hunger for more
[Verse 3]
What if time denies you
The key to your fulfillment fails?
Around the world again on a boat
That sinks as it sails
[Verse 4]
Stand shoulders above her
Pick her up when you love her
Rub it right when you use her
Need it so bad you abuse her
[Verse 5]
But don't leave her alone
‘Cause soon she'll be tasting
The sweet unknown
If it feeds her candy, she'll follow it home
[Verse 6]
Make your claim, she's legally yours
When she shares your name
But don't lose control ‘cause you'll scare her away
Go on beg her to stay
