One time you were my baby chicken Now you've grown into a fox Once upon a time I was your little rooster But am I just one of your cocks It's rough justice on ya You're going to have to trust me It's rough justice But you know I'll never break your heart So put your lips to my hips, baby And tell me what's on your mind I know you've still got the animal attraction for me It's been a long, long time It's rough justice on ya We never thought it risky It's rough justice But you know I'll never break your heart You're feeling loose and lusty So if you really want me Yeah, it's rough justice And you know I'll never break your heart, yeah It's rough justice on ya You think you really sussed me It's rough justice But you know I'll never break your heart The first time I saw you, baby You were springing like a young gazelle And next thing I know, way down the road You had me flying like a bat out of hell It's rough justice on ya Your eyes are too disgusted You're going to have to trust me But you know I'll never break your heart I give you my positions Don't want no oppositions It's rough justice But you know I'll never break your heart Yeah Come on baby
