Lyrics

The Sex of It

[Verse 1]

You say you want simplicity

You don't like love complex

I got a spooky feeling

You just want me for the sex

[Chorus]

The thrills of it

The chills of it

The spills of it

You just want me for the sex

The sex of it

The sex of it

[Verse 2]

I gave for a diamond ring, my friend

That didn't get for off

French cologne a hundred bucks an ounce

(Ooh)

All you did was cough

You say you want simplicity

You don't like love complex

But I got a spooky feeling

You just want me for the sex

[Chorus]

The thrills of it

The chills of it

The spills of it

Baby, baby, you just want me for the sex

Just want me for the sex

The sex of it

The sex of it

[Intelrude]

Uh, excuse me darling, but uh, do you think you could put some clothes on?

The sex of it

The sex of it

[Verse 3]

How can I make you understand that's all I wanna do?

Damn my life, I'd rather spend it all with you

I couldn't love you anymore, I guess I'll hate you next

Confess you witch!

(What?)

You just want me for my sex

[Chorus]

The thrills of it

The chills of it

The spills of it

You just want me for the sex

The thrills of it

The chills of it

The spills of it

You just want me for the sex

[Outro]

The sex of it

The sex of it

Excuse me, darling, do you think it's possible that you could cover your outer extremities?

Because I am expecting some people to come over to the house

The sex of it

The sex of it

The sex of it

The sex of it
