My Aphrodisiac Is You

Some people say
That oysters make you come on strong,
But i don't buy it,
I don't believe my diet turns me on,
Won't take no pills,
That's the last thing that i need to do,
i can't deny it, my aphrodisiac is you.

Alright,
I could sniff some powdered rhino horn,
And go to bed in rubber gloves.
But i don't need no stimulation,
Potions, balms or embrocation,
I'm in love, - in other words:

Don't smoke no grass
or opium from old Hong Kong,
That Hubble-bubble
Just makes me see you double all night long.
Don't waste my time,
With Spanish fly and roots to chew,
They cause me trouble
Because my aphrodisiac is you

Alright,
I could sniff some powdered rhino horn,
And go to bed in rubber gloves.
But i don't need no stimulation,
Potions, balms or embrocation,
I'm in love, - in other words:

Some people like
To read the Kama Sutra first,
But i don't need it
I think if i should read it i'd be worse!
Don't ask me why,
'cause baby, i aint got a clue.
I just concede it,
My aphrodisiac is you.
