lyrics

is she gonna take me to the highest court
and claim that she was treated like a common whore
must i suffer more than a rejection
for a sign of affection?

is he gonna beckon me into his car
is he gonna touch me where it’s going too far
no one's gonna mess with my perfection
for just another erection

i want to find a way
to hold her
in a decent way

i want to find a way
to be held
in a decent way
hold me in a decent way

would you please tell me a better sport
than flirting with a girl on the center court
now and then my body needs affection
without too much reflection

his privileges have endured for centuries
now he’s filling up the penitentiaries
abusers and accusers seek protection
we need another correction

i want to find a way...
