Lyrics

Well, you can need me
Well, I want you to
And you can feed me
Oh, how I like that, too
But don't you lead me
I won't follow you
Listen here
I don't fear
I don't want to be your
Whipping boy
Oh, you can tease me
Oh, how I want you to
And you can squeeze me
Baby, I like that, too
But don't you lead me
I won't follow you
Listen here
Oh, I don't fear
I don't want to be your
Whipping boy
Oh, you can hold me
Baby, I want you to
And you can scold me
Yes, I like that, too
But don't you lead me
I won't follow you
Listen here
I don't fear
I don't want to be your
Whipping boy
Well, you can need me
Well, I want you to
And you can feed me
Baby, I like that, too
But don't you lead me
I won't follow you
Listen here
I don't fear
I don't want to be your
Whipping boy
