Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This has got to die
I said this has got to stop
This has got to lie down
With someone else on top
[Verse 2]
You can keep me pinned
'Cause it's easier to tease
But you can't paint an elephant
Quite as good as she
[Verse 3]
And she may cry like a baby
And she may drive me crazy
'Cause I am lately lonely
[Verse 4]
So why'd you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow case
Is easier to touch
[Verse 5]
And when you think you've sinned
Do you fall upon your knees?
Or do you sit within your picture?
Do you still forget the breeze?
[Verse 6]
And she may rise
If I sing you down
And she may wisely cling to the ground
'Cause I am lately horny
So why would she take me horny?
[Verse 7]
What's the point of this song?
You've already gone
Well I could throw her out and I could live without
And I could do it all for you, I could be true
[Verse 8]
Tell me if you want me to lie
'Cause this has got to die
I said this has got to stop
This has got to lie down, down
With someone else on top
[Verse 9]
You can both keep me pinned
Cause it's easier to tease
But you can't make me happy
Quite as good as me
Well you know that's a lie
