lyrics

THE LADIES LAMENT


SHE SAID I DONT WANT SEX BUT I WANNA MAKE LOVE
AND WE CAN SHARE SOME EROTIC MOMENTS TOO
BUT WHEN I OPEN MY EYES I DON’T NEED A SURPRISE
ALL I WANNA SEE THERE IS YOU

SHE SAID DONT HOLD BACK ON THE THOUGHTS IN YOUR HEAD
COME AND SAY WHAT YOU’RE NEEDING TO SAY
I CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT I REPLY
JUST TRY TO MAKE IT LIKE ITS FUNNY AND IN PLAY

NOW DON’T TREAT ME LIKE YOU NEVER SEEN A WOMAN BEFORE
AND DONT TREAT ME LIKE YOU SEEN THAT MANY TOO
TOUCH ME LIKE YOU’RE KNOWING ALL THE MOVES THAT I MAKE
BUT THEN BE SO SURPRISED WHEN I DO

I DON’T WANT YOU TO FUMBLE WITH MY HEART OR MY NAME
AND KEEP COOL COS YOU AINT UP FOR TRIAL
COME LOOK AT ME TELL ME DO YOU THINK THIS IS WRONG
AN IF ITS YES WELL YOUR SIMPLY IN DENIAL

SHE SAID I REALLY GOT SOMETHING THAT IM WANTING TO GIVE
BUT I’M NOT TRYING TO GIVE IT ALL AWAY
NO I AINT THAT PRECIOUS JUST A LITTLE ON EDGE
COS YOU’RE MAKING ME MOVE IN THAT WAY

SHE SAID I WANNA BE THERE WATCH YOU OPEN YOUR EYES
HEAR YOU SPEAKING MY NAME AND THEN SMILE
TO BE THERE AND TALK OR SAY NOTHING AT ALL
MAKE IT EASY TO LAY THERE FOR A WHILE

SHE SAID TOUCH ME SOFTLY LIKE I’M MADE OUT OF SKIN
KISS ME LIKE YOU WANT ME TO STAY
AND IF YOU’RE FEELING THE NEED TO MOVE A LITTLE BIT ROUGH
WELL DO IT IN A GENTLE KIND OF WAY

SHE SAID IT REALLY WONT BE WHAT YOU THINK THAT YOU WANT
QUITE SOON YOU’LL FIND OUT WHAT YOU NEED
YOU’LL BE BEGGING FOR MORE IN FACT CRAWLING THE FOOR
TRYIN A FIGURE SHOULD YOU FOLLOW OR YOU LEAD

SEEMS I’M GETTING THIS MESSAGE THAT MAYBE YOU’RE SHY
OR THEN AGAIN THAT YOU’RE THINKIN THAT I’M RUDE
I’VE HEARD SEX IS A PROBLEM IF IT DON’T MAKE YOU LAUGH
AND LETS FACE IT I’M A SCREAM IN THE NUDE

SO IF ANY OF THIS MEANS ANYTHING AT ALL
GO PUNCH ALL THEM BUTTONS ON YOUR PHONE
I WANNA SAY I LOVE YOU BUT WHO SHOULD I TELL
IF I’M SITTING HERE AND SITTIN ALL ALONE
