Why Don't You

Why don't you scratch me?
If it makes you feel good, go on, attack me
I promise I won't look
Let me wipe the sweat from your brow
It's so easy when you know how
I want your love and I want it now
Why don't you kiss me?
Like they do on the screen, you know this is me
You don't know where I've been
And stand up closer, I won't bite at all
I never think that my love is small
I want your love 'cause it's such a ball
She's like a baby in a cradle, I rock her fast to sleep
Her manners at the table are dirty and they're cheap
But I want love and not a dinner to eat

Why don't you hit me?
Give me a heart attack, go on and love me
And I might love you back
I know you're much younger than me
When I pulled you off of the street
It's cruel love but it's ours to keep
She's like a baby in a cradle, I rock her fast to sleep
Her manners at the table are dirty and they're cheap
But I want love and not a dinner to eat
She's like a baby in a cradle, I rock her fast to sleep
Her manners at the table are dirty and they're cheap
But I want love and not a dinner to eat
She's like a baby in a cradle, I rock her fast to sleep
Her manners at the table are dirty and they're cheap
But I want love, not a dinner to eat
