One, two, three
She might dance all night
In a topless bar
Fool around, go too far
But I don't mind
You see things are not what they appear
And she only sleeps with me
She might drink a bit
Crash the car
Fool around
But come out okay
And my friends might laugh
But they only know what they can see
And she only sleeps with me
Nights on Times Square
Live and on stage
High heels, she feels
That she's dancin' for me
And the little bird
Flies from tree to tree
To the highest branch
Where she thinks she's free
And the moon
She can have it all
That's the reason you wouldn't believe
That she only sleeps with me
Where there's a porno book
In the library
Nothin' ever goes
Where it shouldn't be
And the world is queer
And the human is strangest of all
And she only sleeps
Yeah, she only sleeps
Yeah, she only sleeps with me

This is a song, it was written, uh, a long time ago
And it becomes, a more appropriate, or more inappropriate
As time goes by
