The Magnetic Fields - God Wants Us To Wait lyrics

rate me

I think I know what you would like us to do

When we have children let's have 72

Until then we must be resigned to our fate

I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait

I guess it's true I should have told you before

And not have waited 'til we're nude on the floor

Though it would be the perfect end to our date

I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait

Now you might like to kiss the dew on my hem

But one male and female created He them

Our Lord intended us forever to mate

I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait

Despite my beauty and the scent of jasmine

Could you be happy in the knowledge of sin?

Although it may not be a crime in our state

I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait

How much more wonderful to anticipate

I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait
