I've had relations with girls from many nations I've made passes at women of all classes And just because you're gay I won't turn you away If you stick around I'm sure that we can find some common ground Sexuality Strong and warm and wild and free Sexuality Your laws do not apply to me A nuclear submarine sinks off the coast of Sweden Headlines give me headaches when I read them I had an uncle who once played for Red Star Belgrade He said some things are really left best unspoken But I prefer it all to be out in the open Sexuality Strong and warm and wild and free Sexuality Your laws do not apply to me Sexuality Don't threaten me with misery Sexuality I demand equality I'm sure that everybody knows how much my body hates me It lets me down most every time and makes me rash and hasty I feel a total jerk before your naked body of work I'm getting weighed down with all this information Safe sex doesn't mean no sex it just means use your imagination Stop playing with yourselves in hard currency hotels I look like Robert De Niro, I drive a Mitsubishi Zero Sexuality Strong and warm and wild and free Sexuality Your laws do not apply to me Sexuality Come eat and drink and sleep with me Sexuality We can be what we want to be
