   C#               G#    A#m
My baby came to me lately
                    F
Honey, please don't take this bad,
    F#               F#m
but maybe, when you lay me
          C#             G#7
could we try to spice it up?'

I looked her across the table
First to see if she was joking
No joke, there was no flicker
Just a girl who wanted more

Chorus:
     F#          F#m
Than meat and potatoes
         C#                    A#
She may stop at at whips and chains
 D#
She needs carousal
      G#
For arousal
          G#7
A bit of pain

So we started by using handcuffs
We tried a can of cold whipped cream
I was allergic to so much dairy
She had to finish it all by herself

        C#                       G#     A#m
Then I slapped her  She wasn't expecting
               F
So she hit me back
              F#                  F#m
She friggin' cracked me.  I got a nose bleed
        C#                 D#
She was angry. She wanted more

Chorus:
Than meat and potatoes
She may stop at, at pumps and drains
She needs some arousal
Some carousal, a bit of pain

Invite the neighbours (Invite the neighbours)
Or total strangers (Or total strangers)
And give yourself a leg up, honey
Wear the queen mask

Put on the French basque
It's full of honey holes
And if we're gonna use 'em all, oh
We're gonna need more

Chorus:
Than meat and potatoes
Oh, she may draw the line at dolls and freaks
She needs some abusing
Some amusement to get through the week

I know you respect me
And you won't reject me
And the arrow of our love
Is straight and true
