Hee, sorry, but that made me remember (and get stuck in my
head!!!) this classic:
I'm a teaser (I'm a man!)
Well I'm a virgin
I'm a one night stand
I'm a drug
Well I'm your slave
I'm a dream divine
And we make love together
I'm a goddess
I'm a hooker
I'm a blue movie
I'm a slut
I'm a geisha
I'm your babe
I'm a dream divine
And we make love together
(can't be the only person here old enough to remember that.
Note on the 'childhood innocence' thing: yes, I did love this song
when I was 12 or 13 when it came out, and yes I *did*
understand it, at least theoretically. They ARE all the same
person, that's the point!)
