Why forbidden fruit

Always looks so sweet

Hanging down like devil's food

From highest branch on tree

Yes, woman should be satisfied

Be happy with her lot

But sometimes half of him

Seems better than the whole I've got

Yes, sometimes half of hell right here

Is better than a heaven forgot

Yeild not to temptation

Is only good advice

If true love happens just the once

And never ever twice

Yes, woman should be satisfied

Be happy with her lot

But sometimes half of him

Seems better than the whole I've got

Yes, sometimes half of hell right here

Seems better than a heaven forgot

We were happy with happily ever after

But only if the plot

Had bad guys we could boo and hiss

And good guys we could not

We probably feel that second best

Could actually be much worse

But you're kind of drawn to chocolate

When you've tasted wafer first

Yes, you're kind of drawn to chocolate

When you've tasted wafer first

Hunt me down like your other prey

Let your claws take hold

If what I've chosen's truly gray

Make tiger black and gold

Yes, woman should be satisfied

Be happy with her lot

But sometimes half of him

Seems better than the whole I've got

Yes, sometimes half of hell right here

Is better than a heaven forgot

We were happy with happily ever after

But only if the plot

Had bad guys we could boo and hiss

And good guys we could not

We probably feel that second best

Could actually be much worse

But you're kinda drawn to chocolate

When you've tasted wafer first

Yes, you're kinda drawn to chocolate

When you've tasted wafer first

'I can't get no satisfaction'

So sang all the guys

The biggest single breeding ground

For a girls, 'I will survive'

We'll be happy with happily ever after

But only when the song

Admits 'can't get no satisfaction'

Wasn't all our wrong

We probably feel that second best

Could actually be much worse

But you're kind of put off wafer

When you've tasted chocolate first

Yes, you're kinda put off wafer

When you've tasted chocolate first

Why forbidden fruit always looks so sweet?
