  this has got to die
  this has got to stop
  this has got to lie down
  someone else on top
  
  you can keep me pinned
  it's easier to tease
  but you can't paint an elephant
  quite as good as she
  
  and she may cry like a baby
  and she may drive me crazy
  'cause i am lately lonely
  
  so why d'you have to lie?
  i take it i'm your crutch
  the pillow in your pillow case
  it's easier to touch
  
  and when you think you've sinned
  do you fall upon your knees?
  and do you sit within your picture?
  do you still forget the breeze?
  
  and she may rise, if i sing you down
  and she may wisely cling to the ground
  cause i'm lately horny
  so why would she take me horny?
  
  what's the point of this song? or even singing?
  you've already gone, why am i clinging?
  well i could throw it out, and i could live without
  and i could do it all for you
  i could be strong
  tell me if you want me to lie
  'cause this has got to die
  
  this has got to stop
  this has got to lie down, down
  with someone else on top
  
  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
