Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's at times like this the great heaven knows
That we wish we had not so many clothes
So let's loosen up with a playful tease
Like all lovers did through the centuries
[Chorus]
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh
[Verse 2]
When it gets so hot, the end of the day
You may find your clothes getting in the way
If a pretty dress hides your true desire
Fold it nice and slow, throw it on the fire
[Chorus]
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh
[Verse 3]
We don't need to see what the butler saw
Or a mirrored room with a mirrored floor
All those sneaky looks gazing down on you
Are no substitute for our rendezvous
[Chorus]
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh
[Verse 4]
It's at times like this the great heaven knows
That we wish we had not so many clothes
So let's loosen up with a playful tease
Like all lovers did through the centuries
[Verse 5]
If you think it's cheap or a bit risqué
Please don't say a word, I'll just slip away
I am not a man who believes in lies
Like an octopus with big x-ray eyes
[Verse 6]
Don't freeze up girl, you're looking quite a sight
Be generous, I want it all tonight
[Chorus]
We're just following ancient history (Don't freeze up girl, you're looking quite a sight)
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh (You gotta be generous, I want it all tonight)
We're just following ancient history (Don't freeze up girl, you're looking quite a sight)
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh, uh-huh-huh (I wanna be generous, I want it all tonight, all tonight)
We're just following ancient history (Don't freeze up girl, you're looking quite a sight)
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh (Be generous, I want it all tonight)
We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh
