I Want To Learn About Love

My mouth was just as dry as the tampon dispenser
In the womans bathroom at the Oceanside bus station
A constipated woman barged in on me & said,
"Eek! A boy! Get out before I call Queer Nation!"
But the police did arrive & they said, " What's with this guy?
He's been watching these woman pee, doing
a study like he's Doctor Leakey just to learn about love"

But I want to learn about love
Yeah I want to learn about love
Yeah I want to learn about love
Can you show me today

Well I walked into the adult book store & my heart was
beating louder than the drums at the tip of Zimbabwe
They never taught me nothing 'bout this in Catholic school; they
only said if I was bad, I would incur the wrath of Mister Yahweh
But the bodies were uncurled & they screamed & moaned &
hurled & the boys dressed as girls, & the women got splashed with pearls

And they said it was love
But I want to learn about love
Yeah I want to learn about love
Yeah I want to learn about love
Can you show me today

Well I cruised the red light zone, but I still felt all alone
And I turned a nasty trick & I drank till I got sick
I'm sick; I'm so sick; I'm so.......sick
Well I watched Oprah the other day; there were some mothers
on the show who decided to screw their daughter's boyfriends

The daughters were mad & the boyfriends were glad
because they got an education by burning the candle at both ends
Oprah's dress was canary yellow & I think that she fancied that
fellow & the crotch in his corduroys bulged & the truth it was
soon divulged when they taught us bout love

But I want to learn about love
Yeah I want to learn about love
Yeah I want to learn about love
Can you show me
Would you show me
Will you show me today
