Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A woman made a man
And a man, he made a house
And when they lay together
Little creatures all come out
[Verse 2]
Well, I've seen sex, and I think it's alright
It makes those little creatures come to life
Well, I can laugh or I can turn away
Well, I've seen sex, and I think it's okay
[Chorus]
It's okay, we are creatures
Creatures of love
We are creatures
Creatures of love
[Verse 3]
From the sleep of reason
A life is born
We are creatures of love
We are creatures of love
[Verse 4]
It's okay to be afraid
When the blue spark hits your brain
We can love one another
I've been told that it's okay
[Verse 5]
So, doctor, doctor, tell me what I am
Am I one of those human beings?
Well, I can laugh or I can learn to think
So help me now to find out what to feel
[Chorus]
Help me now, we are creatures
Creatures of love
We are creatures
Creatures of love
[Verse 6]
We've been here forever
Before you were born
We are creatures of love
We are creatures of love
[Verse 7]
A man can drive a car
And a woman can be a boss
I'm a monkey and a flower
I'm everything at once
[Verse 8]
Well, a woman and a man can be together
If they decide to
They'll make little creatures
Watch 'em now
[Chorus]
Little creatures of love
With two arms and two legs
From a moment of passion
Now they cover the bed
[Chorus]
Little creatures of love
We are creatures of love
We are creatures
Creatures of love
We are creatures
Creatures of love
[Outro]
From the sleep of reason
A life is born
We are creatures of love
We are creatures of love
We are creatures of love
We are creatures of love
