Too many broken parts on things that make you quiver,
Appliances that require lots of batteries.
Just getting laid's a better form of vice,
The things we don for love,
The things we don for love.

Pure fornication has got its own set of problems,
So you could always opt for hot sex on the phone--
Still better than a leather zippered gown,
The things we don for love,
The things we don for love.

A taut ring can cause pain when you grow,
Need a harness for a 'do--
Useful when an eel-like part of you ain't risin'.
You can wrap a plastic mask around your eyes;
Then he/she can't see your makeup.
Shake too hard--strap-on breakup.

Ooh, fakes parts to love you,
Ooh, prosthetic way,
Ooh, now let me chain you to the wall.

It's time to apprise yourself of this situation:
Agree to dishabille# and then discard the parts
Let nature take its course; concupiscence+ will rise
The things you've doffed for love
(The things you've doffed for love),
The rings you've doffed for love
(The rings you've doffed for love),
The springs you've doffed for love
(The springs you've doffed for love),
The minks* you've doffed for love
(The minks you've doffed for love). . . .
