Sex isn’t sexy
I’m sorry but it’s just
Two horny people
Who want to bone the people in front of them
And they call it attraction
Trying to pad the actual
Which is
I just want your physical and believing who knows maybe one day it could possibly become more but the truth is that’s not really important
So when men approach me licking their lips and whispering
I am not impressed
And when they spit lines about sexual obsession
Or how they give women caressing
Or how good their skill at sex is
I stare with blank eyes
Hoping they will realize that sex ain’t sexy
Because it’s just an outward expression of inward lust
And it’s less about love
And more about the thrust
And we define it as necessity
Like sex is a must
Because we are too afraid to trust who we are without it
And sexy doesn’t translate into sex
Because sex it not really as complex
It’s just mechanics and aerobics
See sexy is an attitude
A presence that exudes confidence
Intelligence
Benevolence
And common sense
But we think it is visual
In the clothes we wear
In the body types
And in all the other hype we fall in to
But see to me
Knowledge is sexy
And
Conversation is sexy
And
Motivation is sexy
And
Integrity is sexy
And
So is chivalry
Who didn’t die
But was killed by sex who is now most wanted and on the run
And I suspect he has changed his identity to love
Because he knows no one will ever think to look for him there
Camouflaged in the purest thing ever created
But who cares because sex is sexy right?
That’s why we fight over it
And we lie to get it
And why it sells
And why conquering it smells like victory
But really we’re losers
Just addicts
Trying to get our next fix
And in your high you reply sex is sexy isn’t it
Or do the words just sound so similar that we automatically connect them
And as you sober up you being reflecting
That maybe
Just maybe
Sex isn’t sexy
And that sex isn’t love
And maybe everything you knew of was wrong
And maybe you were just afraid to let sex stand on its own because then
How would you explain every time it happened?
And how would you support this practice
And how would you excuse all the accidents
If sex wasn’t sexy
And I’m not talking to the ones making love
And making memories
To put in their albums
And hang on their walls
Building histories
‘Cause see
Making love is sexy
And
Shaping love is sexy
So when I roll my eyes
And wave goodbye
Just know that I seek more than
You licking your lips and whispering
And dropping your voice to bass
See that’s really just a waste of my time
And in my mind I’m thinking
Yeah he’s fine but I’ve said my name several times
And he’s still calling me sex
So I put him in check
And look dead in his eyes
And said sex isn’t sexy
And all the lies he planned for me went away
And so did his game
And then I restated that my name was respect
And that
Respect is sexy
And that
Respect is sexy
And that
Respect is sexy
And to
Respect my sex
See
I don’t need your sex
See
I am more than my sex
See me more than my sex please
Microphone 1-2
Check please
Can you hear me now?
