Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]:
We are animals,
No matter what we deny.
Our bodies strong like magnets,
In the darkening sky.
[Hook]:
It's a complicated blend,
Of tenderness and aggression.
Whatever gets you off,
Whatever your obsession.
[Chorus]:
Sex rules.
Use your God-given tools.
Sex rules (sex rules).
I pity the fools,
Who realize too late,
Love, sex, and God are great.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Sex rules.
[Verse 2]:
I want you to love me,
Baby, to love me right.
But I'm kinda shy at telling you,
To tell you what I like.
[Hook]:
It's a complicated blend,
Of tenderness and aggression.
Whatever gets you off,
That is my obsession.
[Chorus]:
Oh!
Sex rules.
Use your God-given tools.
Sex rules (sex rules).
I pity the fools,
Who realize too late,
Love, sex, and God are great.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Sex rules.
[Bridge]:
Why do we like what like?
Why do we crave what we crave?
Why do some need to be masters?
Why do some want to be slaves?
[Chorus]:
Sex rules.
Oh!
Use your God-given tools.
Sex rules (sex rules).
I pity the fools,
Who realize too late,
Love, sex, and God are great.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Sex rules.
[Chorus]:
Sex rules.
Use your God-given tools.
Sex rules (sex rules).
I pity the fools,
Who realize too late,
Love, sex, and God are great.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Sex rules.
