'What's wrong with being sexy?' he whispered at my ear Why don’t we keep the lens cap on for all the difference it'll make, my dear Oh dear / oh dear / oh dear He thought I was his oil slick / he tried to feed me Vaseline He seemed to think I’d genuflect (and while you’re down there, darling) He tried to call me ‘baby’; he tried to call me ‘bitch’ With dead eyes wide he asked in wonder: What’s wrong with being sexy? What’s wrong with being sexy? What’s wrong with being sexy if it gets you what you want? What’s wrong with being sexy? What’s wrong with being sexy? What’s wrong with being sexy if it gets you what I want? What’s wrong with being sexy? We all have a mouth to feed And a pretty throat for swallowing as long as there is hunger So hold aloft your petrol heart and try to look empowered You are a very fine machine And what’s wrong with being sexy? What’s wrong with being sexy? What’s wrong with being sexy, now that you have your rights? Oh baby, haven’t you heard These days we’re ever so equal So shut up and take it off Palpitate what you’ve got Shut up and keep it sexy Shut up and keep it sexy Shut up and keep it sexy Give them what you want I keep two rabbits on my chest My spine’s a fleet of ships My collarbone’s the telephone I pout with origami lips My fingers are ten shell-less snails My skin is soft like rusty nails Wax teeth bite back my glacial tongue And creaking, we all move as one We know how to be sexy We know how to be sexy ‘Cause what’s wrong with being sexy? If you thought the walls had come down We’ve a surprise for you alright Success is dull grey pain So why should we complain? What’s wrong with being sexy? What’s wrong with being sexy? What’s wrong with being sexy if it gets you what you want? What’s wrong with being sexy? What’s wrong with being sexy? What’s wrong with being sexy if it gets you what you want?
