Lyrics
There are desires not to be fulfilled, appetites not to be satiated,
Tempations best resisted, fetishes untwisted,
But you're not one of those.
There are treats best left on the shelf, playthings better hidden in the playroom,
Fantasies in mind, pleasures to decline,
But you're not one of those.
No, your'e not one of those, from your head down to your toes
You are good for me, and I know it really shows.
And I love you, really really love you;
You are unique in this world of woes.
There are tricks up everybody's sleeves, ends to justify most any means,
Subconscious dominators, blatant manipulators,
But you're not one of those.
There are sluts, pimps, murderers and thieves, profligates hell-bound with no repentence,
Church ladies having tea, approving W.B.,
But you can be excluded from that t'which I've 'lluded
Yeah, you're not one of those, from your head down to your toes,
You are good for me, and I know it really shows.
And I love you, love you, love you, love you;
You are unique in this world of woes.
There are games not to be played,parts best not displayed,
Plans not to be hatched, itches never scratched,
Politcs ignored, points left unexplored,
Music best rehearsed, flesh best left unpierced,
Chances not to take, feelings not to fake,
Words best left unsaid, thoughts kept in your head,
But you're not one of those, from your head down to your toes
You're good for me, and I know it really shows.
And I love you, love you, love you, love you;
You are unique in this world of woes.
