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!)
