Said, "Your joy, your joy is my low" He takes your face and positions it to take your mouth You bite, you bite to excite yourself He wants the color of you to wear and feel alive So you bite and I'm awake and I'm the slave tonight You lie, you lie to spare my life You needed it, he tasted you inside out Say it, your joy, your joy is my low So you want yourself to stop So, your joy, your joy is my low And when you crack the whip, I crawl again You shift the play, push the curve to sit between your thighs It's a sign, it's time to exercise the lines You want the double cut through to wet, invade and slide You slide and I'm awake and I'm the slave tonight You lie, you lie to spare my life You needed it, he tasted you inside out Say it, your joy, your joy is my low So you want yourself to stop Say it, your joy, your joy is my low And when you crack the whip, I crawl again Say it, your joy, your joy is my low So you want yourself to stop Say it, your joy, your joy is my low Your joy is my low You want yourself to stop So, your joy, your joy is my low So you want yourself to stop Say it, your joy, your joy is my low When you crack the whip, I crawl again Say it, your joy, your joy is my low So you want yourself to stop Say it, your joy, your joy is my low Your joy is my low
