Let me tell you about a girl I know
Had a drink about an hour ago
Sittin' in a corner by herself
In a bar in downtown hell
She heard a noise and she looked to the door
And saw a man she'd never seen before
Light skin and light blue eyes
A double chin and a plastic smile
Well, her heart raced as he walked in the door
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar
A brand-new car is parked right outside
How'd you like to go for a ride?
She said: Wait a minute, I have to think
He said: That's fine, may I please buy you a drink?
One drink turned into three or four
And they left and got into his car
And they drove away some place real far
Now, babe, the time has come
How'd you like to have a little fun?
And she said: If we could only please be on our way
I would not run
That's when things got out of control
She didn't want to, he had his way
She said: Let's go; he said: No way
Come on, babe, it's your lucky day
Shut your mouth, we're gonna do it my way
Come on, baby, don't be afraid
If it wasn't for date rape, I'd never get laid
He finished up, he started the car
He turned around and drove back to the bar
He said: Now baby, don't be sad
In my opinion, you weren't half bad
She picked up a rock, threw it at the car
Hit him in the head, now he's got a big scar
Come on, party people, won't you listen to me
Date rape style
Next day, she went to her drawer
Looked up her local attorney-at-law
Went to the phone and filed a police report
Then she took the guys ass to court
Well, the day he stood in front of the judge
He screamed: She lies, that little slut!
The judge knew that he was full of shit
And he gave him twenty-five years
Now his heart is filled with tears
One night, in jail it was getting late
He was butt-raped by a large inmate
And he screamed, but the guards paid no attention
To his cries
That's when things got out of control
The moral of the date rape story
It does not pay to be drunk and horny
But that's the way it had to be
They locked him up and threw away the key
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind
Even though he now takes it in the behind
But that's the way it had to be
They locked him up and threw away the key
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind
Even though he now takes it in the behind
Date rape!
She didn't want to
She didn't want to
She didn't want to
She didn't want to take it
