Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On
I was born in a beauty salon
My father was a dresser of hair
My mother was a girl you could call on
When you called, she was always there
When you called, she was always there
When you called, she was always there
When you called, she was always there
When you called, she was always there
Ah, but don't go home with your hard-on
It will only drive you insane
You can't shake it or break it with your Motown
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
I've looked behind all of these faces
That smile, you're down to your knees
And the lips that say, "Come on, taste us"
And when you try to, they make you say, "Please"
When you try to, they make you say, "Please"
When you try to, they make you say, "Please"
When you try to, they make you say, "Please"
When you try to, they make you say, "Please"
Ah, but don't go home with your hard-on
It will only drive you insane
You can't shake it or break it with your Motown
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
Here come's your bride with her veil on
Approach her, you wretch, if you dare
Approach her, you ape with your tail on
Once you have her, she'll always be there
Once you have her, she'll always be there
Once you have her, she'll always be there
Once you have her, she'll always be there
Once you have her, she'll always be there
Ah, but don't go home with your hard-on
It will only drive you insade
You can't shake it or break it with your Motown
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
So I work in that same beauty salon
I'm chained to the old masquerade
The lipstick, the shadow, the silicone
I follow my father's trade
I follow my father's trade
I follow my father's trade
I follow my father's trade
I follow my father's trade
Ah, but don't go home with your hard-on
It will only drive you insane
You can't shake it or break it with your Motown
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
My father was a dresser of hair
My mother was a girl you could call on
When you called, she was always there
When you called, she was always there
When you called, she was always there
When you called, she was always there
When you called, she was always there
Ah, but don't go home with your hard-on
It will only drive you insane
You can't shake it or break it with your Motown
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
I've looked behind all of these faces
That smile, you're down to your knees
And the lips that say, "Come on, taste us"
And when you try to, they make you say, "Please"
When you try to, they make you say, "Please"
When you try to, they make you say, "Please"
When you try to, they make you say, "Please"
When you try to, they make you say, "Please"
Ah, but don't go home with your hard-on
It will only drive you insane
You can't shake it or break it with your Motown
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)

Once you have her, she'll always be there
Ah, but don't go home with your hard-on
It will only drive you insade
You can't shake it or break it with your Motown
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)

You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
You can't melt it down in the rain
(You can't melt it down in the rain)
