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 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 friggin' cracked me
I got a nose bleed
She was angry
She wanted more
Than mean and potatoes
She may stop at pumps and drains!
She needs carousal
More arousal
A bit of pain
Invite the neighbours
Or total strangers
Give yourself a leg up, honey
Wear 'The Queen' mask
Put on the French basque
It's full of handy holes
If we're going to use them all
We're gonna need more than
Meat and potatoes!
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
You won't reject me
And the arrow of our love is straight and true'
