I Get Off On It

I met a pretty girl who really turned me on

But we didn't make it very far

It's hard to make love to a lady

When she's munching on a candy bar

And I couldn't help but say:

"Ain't no time for Milky-Way"

And she goes:

"I get off on it

I get off on it

Give just a little slack,

can't you see I'm into snacks

I get off on it"

There was a pretty thing in Los Angeles

But she was a man in women's clothes

I told him he was dressing kinda dangerous

'cause how's a fool like me gonna know

And I couldn't help but say:

"Why you wanna dress that way"

And he goes:

"I get off on it

I get off on it

Ain't no sweat off your nose,

I just dig 'em ladies clothes

I get off on it"

Good old boy he met a girl and liked her

But she didn't know what he was all about

'cause when he filled his lip with tobacco

Don't you know it nearly grossed her out

And she couldn't help but say:

"Why you wanna do that way"

And he goes:

"I get off on it

I get off on it

I don't mean to make you flip,

But don't be messin' with my dip,

I get off on it"

There is a dude up in New York City

He wears nothing but a raincoat and he walks around

He comes up on to a lady looking pretty

And he gives her just glimpse from the waist down

And she couldn't help but say:

"Why you wanna act that way"

And he goes:

"I get off on it

I get off on it

I don't mean to bring you down,

But I just gotta flash around"

There was a girl I had a lot of fun with

Did she ask me to her house, well not

And when she told me she was into bondage

Well don't you know it nearly blew my mind

And I couldn't help but say:

"Why you wanna do that way"

And she goes:

"I get off on it

I get off on it

Can't you see I'm into pain

Please let me do my thing"
