Do I need you, is a rubber band elastic? Do I want you, is the atom bomb drastic? Let's us be heterosexually entwined, we fit like a tailored suit dear I dig you more than I dig root beer Green Giant peas need a big green pod I spend a lot of time needing your bod Walking around through fields of clover Can't we lie down and talk things over? You never know whats coming off next In the wonderful world of sex
