You can tie my hands behind my back And lick your initials in my neck Foreplay does nothing for me But commitment makes me wet I already know you're having an affair with words But boo, I'm married to it My vocabulary leaves most men wary I need to know, can you get into it? This is so torturous (I know that I shouldn't) But I can not resist Just what is it that you are weaving That's keeping my body from leaving? Your presence is lingering Longer than I thought it would and I Feel that I should succumb to your magic 'Cause I know you're just as Strong as an earthquake Bright as a shinin' star I remember the fragrance I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for Love in the fast lane As my sanity quickly passed me by Yeah, I left it all behind Battling, battling, these feelings are traveling Quicker than a flick of lightning, you were tightening Round my heart and won't slow down Burning hotter than the world underground I'm feeling like Cupid's fool, what to do? And the arrow's headed straight for you, you I don't wanna love another, gotta keep this undercover Brother I'm about to explode, I am Strong as an earthquake Bright as a shinin' star I remember the fragrance I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for Love in the fast lane As my sanity quickly passed me by Yeah, I left it all behind Would you let me lick you with alliteration And tie you up with similes? Give you pain and pleasure with soliloquies Until you beg me for release I think we could have the ebonic plague solution Lace me with your lexiconic seed and in nine months We could start to raise the revolution Strong as an earthquake Bright as a shinin' star I remember the fragrance I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for Love in the fast lane As my sanity quickly passed me by Yeah, I left it all behind Strong as an earthquake Bright as a shinin' star I remember the fragrance I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for Love in the fast lane As my sanity quickly passed me by Yeah, I left it all behind Strong as an earthquake Strong as an earthquake Come so far for love in the fast lane Bright as a shinin' star
