Take a leaf out of my book I am the captain of my ship I am no slave, I'm no one's serf I stoop my back to no one's whims, yeah Your limbs protrude like minarets Your flesh exudes a call to prayer It beckons me through moon and star A wasted soul crying out mercy Subversive (everybody) Put me on hold Subversive (everybody) But I don't know why We yearn for love That's what we're dreaming of We know it's arbitrary But why should we care? We yearn for love That's what we're dreaming of Something extraordinary Although why should we care? So take a leaf out of my book I am the captain of my ship If you wanna take a crown you don't ask first You seize it with a bumptious wrist Subversive (everybody) Put me on hold Subversive (everybody) But I don't know why We yearn for love That's what we're dreaming of We know it's arbitrary But why should we care? We yearn for love That's what we're dreaming of It's so extraordinary When you can have your share Hold me, tease me, squeeze me, please me Whisper words tender and sleazy I am so bad, discipline me Stretch me out, I'll take the whip Hold me, tease me, squeeze me, please me Whisper words tender and sleazy I am so bad, discipline me Stretch me out, I'll take the whip Hold me, tease me, squeeze me, please me Whisper words tender and sleazy I am so bad, discipline me Stretch me out, I'll take the whip Hold me, tease me, squeeze me, please me Whisper words tender and sleazy I am so bad, discipline me Stretch me out, I'll take the whip We yearn for love That's what we're dreaming of We know it's arbitrary But would should we care? We yearn for love That's what we're dreaming of Something extraordinary But who said life was fair?
