No matter what you say No matter what you do I'm lazy as a lion My body's just for you Crazy for you I'm sneaky as a snake I'm dirty as a dog I'm rutting like a goat I'm horny as a hog Terrifying love I get these strange, strange, strange, desires Strange, strange, strange, desires You're graceful as a bird My heart is on the wing You're gentle as a dove If a humming bird could sing Crazy for you You're gunning like a deer I'm wily as a fox You're faster than a mare I'm stronger than an ox Terrifying love I get these strange, strange, strange, desires Strange, strange, strange, desires Strange, strange, strange, desires I'm faithful as a swan I'm darker than a bat I'm friendly as a bear And tougher than a rat No matter what you say No matter what you do I'm restless as a cat All caged up in a zoo Terrifying love I get these strange, strange, strange, desires Strange, strange, strange, desires Strange, strange, strange, desires
