Take Off Your Dress

You take the words out my mouth,
I'm tripping on my tongue
In circles.

I'm getting dizzy,
And I'm all caught up 
On your love; it's lethal.

Oh I,
Am a sucker for blue eyes and grinning teeth.
Can you unstick your lips?
I want to hear beneath.

Take off your dress.
I want to feel your skin,
I want to begin to see
Beneath it.
Take off your dress.
I'm a little curious,
I'm new at this,
Can't you tell.

You take the air out my lungs,
I'm choking on my tongue 
I'm purple.

Oh you're a bad broke bandit 
Stealing my love,
Like tax from the people.

And I,
Am a sucker for 
Good lies through grinning teeth.
Can you unstick your lips?
I wanna hear beneath.

Take off your dress.
I wanna feel your skin,
I want to begin
To see beneath it.
Take off your dress.
Take off your dress.
