Lyrics for Meat And Potatoes

My baby Came to me lately: "Honey, please don't take this bad But maybe When you laid me Could we try to spice it up?" I looked her Across the table First to see if she was joking No joke There was no flicker Just a girl Who wanted more Than meat And potatoes She may stop at At whips and chains She needs carousal More arousal A bit of pain So we started By using handcuffs We tried a can of cold whipped cream I was allergic To so much dairy She had to finish it All by herself I slapped her She wasn't expecting Then she hit me back She freakin' cracked me I got a nosebleed She was angry She wanted more Than meat And potatoes She may stop At pumps and drains She needs some arousal Some carousal A bit of pain Invite the neighbours (Invite the neighbours) Or total strangers (Or total strangers) And give yourself a leg up, honey Where the queen mask Put on the French basque It's full of honey holes And if we're gonna use them all, oh Then we're gonna need more Than meat And potatoes Oh, she may draw the line At dolls and freaks She needs some abusing Some amusement to get through the week I know you respect me And you won't reject me And the arrow of our love is straight and true
