It must have rained two weeks last summer
When the ice cream man cancelled it was such a fuckin' bummer
We were floating down the streets lying naked in a raft
I was honing and practicing my love making craft
I was honing it
And I held ya

When the weather man said he couldn't grant us a reprieve
You were gettin' on my nerves and I wanted you to leave
Well you test me every day you're like a bug up my nose
I swear I'm gonna leave you, but you keep me on my toes
On my toes
Let me hold you

Well you're the one for me I can't leave you
You nasty little bitch I ain't ever gonna free ya
With the lipstick and the passion and the power and the blood
I'm gonna keep you as my hostage in this neverending flood
In this flood

If it rings and it's your mother, then I'll fill it full of buckshot
If the sun comes up tomorrow, then I guess I'll take your cuffs off
When you wiggle from the pain, I like the way you twist your spine
It's special moments like these that let me know that you're mine
I know you're mine
Let me hold ya

Well you're the one for me I can't leave you
You nasty little bitch I ain't ever gonna free ya
With the lipstick and the passion and the power and the blood
I'm gonna keep you as my hostage in this neverending flood
In this flood

My love is like a fire, I guess you'd call it two-fisted
Some people say I'm sick they don't understand I'm twisted
Don't let the bruises scare your friends
We can cover them with make-up
You know I'll always love you
You'll always be my buttercup
You'll be my buttercup
Let me hold ya

Well you're the one for me I can't leave you
You nasty little bitch I ain't ever gonna free ya
With the lipstick and the passion and the power and the blood
I'm gonna keep you as my hostage in this neverending flood
In this flood
I wanna touch, I wanna tease
In this flood
I wanna tempt ya, I wanna twist
In this flood
