Girl U Want

She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined lust
It drips on down in a mist from above
She's just the girl, she's just the girl, the girl you want
You hear her calling everywhere you turn
You know you're headed for the pleasure burn
But the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue
She's the real thing but you knew it all along
She's just the girl, she's just the girl, the girl you want
Look at you with your mouth watering
Look at you with your mind spinning
Why don't we just admit it's all over
She's just the girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl, the girl you want
She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined lust
It drips on down in a mist from above
She's just the girl, she's just the girl, the girl you want
Look at you with your mouth watering
Look at you with your mind spinning
Why don't we just admit it's all over
She's just the girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl, the girl you want

Build Me Up Buttercup

Why do you build me up Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
When you say you will but I love you still
I need you more than anything, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up Buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Why do you build me up Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
When you say you will but I love you still
I need you more than anything, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up Buttercup, don't break my heart
To you I'm a boy but I could be the toy you adore
If you'd just let me know
Although you're untrue,
I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Why do you build me up Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
When you say you will but I love you still
I need you more than anything, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up Buttercup, don't break my hear

Happy Together
03:50

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night
It's right
To think about you, girl
And hold you tight
Maybe we should get together
If I should call you up, invest my time
And you say that you're mine
And ease my mind
Imagine how your body is so fine
Yeah, we should get together
I can't see me with no one but you
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
I can't see me with no one but you
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night
It's right to think about you
Cause your pussy's tight
And you squeeze your tits together

Mothers are a symbol of fertility and life
But that's just half of a larger equation, there's another side
Fathers may not have to cope with all that she goes through
But the bun doesn't put itself in the oven so give the dads their due
Every father is a motherfucker
They plant the seeds of family trees from which we all descend
Forgive the jokes and jeans and breath, it happens now and then
So sometimes you get mad at dad and think he's in the wrong
But remember that you're only here because he fucked your mom
Every father is a motherfucker

Baby's on Fire
04:31
|

|
Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh the plot is so bewitching
Rescuers row, row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow, blow
Lend some assistance to the object
Photographers snip snap
Take your time, she's only burning
This kind of experience
Is necessary for her learning
If you'll be my flotsam
I could be half the man I used to
They said you were hot stuff
And that's what baby's been reduced to

Next to You
04:32
|
|||
|
I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay
You took me over, let me find a way
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
I sold my house, I sold my motor too
All I want is to be next to you
So many times I used to give a sign
I got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
I've had a thousand girls or maybe more
But I've never felt like this before
When all it is is just a love affair
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you

I'm the Slime
03:28
|
|||
|
I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the shit that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help, no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks
Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozing along on your living room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go

Mr. Fix-It
03:24
|
|||
|
It's two A.M. and he starts another fight
Walk him to the door and give a kiss goodnight
Time for a change if you get in too deep
Stop by my shop, cause I work cheap
I'm Mr. Fix-it! It feels good!
Fixing all the girls in the neighborhood
Now, you don't wanna hurt him and I agree
If he knew what we were doing, he'd be hurting me
Gotta work an engine cause the warranty fades
Under your hood, I'm a jack of all trades
I'm Mr. Fix-it! It feels good!
Fixing all the girls in the neighborhood
Fix it! Fix it! Fix it right!
Fix it! Fix it! Fix it all night, now!
Find that switch, bring you to tears
Cause I'm the head technician when it comes to greasing gears
Now you can tell them a thing or two
How Mr. Goodwrench on the workbench was fixing you!
I'm Mr. Fix-it! It feels good!
Fixing all the girls in the neighborhood

If I Can't Have You
03:58
|
|||
|
Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
no chance for me
My life would end
and it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears of love
are a waste of time
if I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody
If I can't have you
Can't let go
and it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
to you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody
If I can't have you

Hey
05:53

Hey, I saw you standing, I saw you smile
You look enchanting, let's dance for a while
Hey, I know it ain't easy, I know it's hard
You leave yourself open, you're gonna get scarred
I hate everybody, I love you
You're the only friend I got I wanna do stuff to
Hey, you took my soda, you stole my fries
I thought you were honest, but then I got wise
Hey, let's take a vacation, just me and you
Cause I got a secret, yeah I'm dying to tell you
I hate everybody, I hate you
You're the only girl I want to stick my dick into
Push me up, pull me down, kiss me underground
Throw me off, watch me drown, fill my head with sound
