lyrics

Putting my feet in your face
Watching the new will and grace
Saving money living at my mom’s place

I’m not unemployed
Just in transition
My poison Ivy’s in remission
I cook with every single pan
In the kitchen

Oh how can you resist
A long sensual kiss
From the guy who shares your bathroom
The stakes are just too high
To risk touching your thigh
I know my love is real
But it’s the opposite of sex appeal

Walking back to the car
A couple of dudes outside the bar
Just can’t wait to tell you how
Pretty you are

I feel my chest tightening
I make a face that’s menacing
It doesn’t seem to matter that you’re wearing a ring

Oh how can you resist
A person who insists
The safest bet is just to run away
Oh my evolutionary advantage
Is that I prefer in marriage
I know my love is real
But it’s the opposite of sex appeal

I depend on you too much
To ask for what I need
I’m not gonna distract the captain
When we’re lost at sea

I’d rather jump overboard
I’d rather jump overboard
Than let you see me

Unspoken expectations
Diluted adulation
Forgotten celebrations
Private self-gratification

I know my love is real
I know my love is real
I know my love is real
Oh but it’s the opposite of sex
The opposite of sex
The opposite of sex
The opposite of sex
The opposite of sex
The opposite of sex appeal
