Sexatise You
Adam And The Ants · Other Songs - Adam And The Ants
We're looking for a place to go
With the play nearly right
All night, every night
Honey
(Dondo, Dondo)
Then a voice in the distance grab a hold of you
(Who)
Whispers boy, I'm gonna sexatise you
Don't ever let your private life
Get in the way of your sexy life
She said, don't ever let your private life
Get in the way of your sexy life
Well, in Paris, TX or Paris, France
Down in the alley, still taking a chance
Home of pleasures, live life in a day
If I had my time over I'd do it all again
Sing
(Dondo)
Toping my body with a close of you
Step over hear I'm gonna sexatise you
Don't ever let your private life
Get in the way of your sexy life
She said, don't ever let your private life
Get in the way of your sexy life
Turn up the powers, that power
And ride it right on through
I'm polishing my pretty dolls up
I'm gonna sexatise you
Turn up the powers, that power
And ride it right on through
I'm polishing my pretty dolls up
I'm gonna sexatise you
Well, there is no such thing as good or bad
Was the experience, the best you ever had?
Just want to throw it right on your fire
And just like Sly, 'I wanted to get higher'
She said, don't ever let your private life
Get in the way of your sexy life
