Sexual Terrorist
Marianne Faithfull · Other Songs - Marianne Faithfull
What does a woman need from a man ?
Notches on her belt ?
But any way to understand
What isn't known but only felt
Well it's a strange world we're living in
Sometimes it feels like a war
Well it's a strange world, not giving in
Who are we doing it for ?
Who are we doing it for ?
Why take it lying down ?
Who told you life was fair ?
Just leave yourself in the lost and found
It doesn't matter where
But it's a strange world and it's alright
Sometimes it feels like a war
Well it's a strange world but not tonight
Who are we doing it for ?
Who are we doing it for ?
Sexual terrorist
Sometimes I feel like the enemy
Sexual terrorist
Who do you pretend to be doing it for
Doing it for ?
What does a woman need from a man ?
Notches on her belt ?
But any way to understand
What isn't known but only felt
Well it's a strange world we're living in
Sometimes it feels like a war
No change there, not giving in
Who are we doing it for ?
Who are we doing it for ?
Who are we doing it for ?
Oh sexual terrorist
Sometimes I feel like the enemy
Sexual terrorist
Sometimes I feel like the enemy
Sexual terrorist
Sometimes I feel like the enemy
Sexual terrorist
Sometimes I feel like the enemy
Oh sexual terrorist
Who are we doing it for ?
Sexual terrorist
Who are we doing it for ?
Sexual terrorist
Who are we doing it for ?
Sexual terrorist
Who are we doing it for ?
