Personally (Strays)
I bring all these strangers home
They're not for me alone
Of all these things and people that I bring home for us
You're easily led to water, bent over for the thrust
But no one brings you to the edge or even wets your smile
While I am always patient I know you'll come a while
It takes more and more
To move you now
I go door to door
To teach you how
You finally take it personally
I never thought you would
I bring all these strangers home
I thought they'd do you good
Take that woman I brought to you from the club late last week
She was glad to share with you as much as she could speak
She was married, unshaven too, we didn't seem to care
All she wanted, all you could take is that you make her there
Take that woman
Take her and when
She's coming back
For you with men
(chorus)
And then that boy - he's not a boy, he was a man for real
I thought a treat for you to taste who you could really feel
Certainly he was a man, he'd kneel down to drink
But that look - I could feel - your tumescence shrink
And then that boy
Oh then that man
He'll come again
Right in your hand
(chorus)
There are times when I'm not sure just what you really want
And if I could bring them home to you from my usual haunts
But I know when I'm in hip-deep and down you slippery fall
You're writing Braille a fingernail backstroke before you crawl
Sometimes you want
Total control
Sometimes I need
You deep in my soul
You finally take it personally
I thought you never would
I bring all these strange things home
Plug them in to do you good
It takes more to move you now but I can find the door
I'm sure I'll always part your hinge and feel you handle more
Your thirst is grown unholy but you hunger for me still
I know that it's wrong to do I'll bend you to my will
(i) It takes more and more
To move you now
I go door to door
To teach you how
(ii) I work much more
(iii) You take to the floor
If it moves you now
(chorus 2)
I bring all these things for you
And slip them in your head
Baby take this anyway
While we share our bed
Sometimes I want
Total control
Sometimes you need
Me deep in your soul
Sometimes you want
Total control
Sometimes I need
You deep in my soul
Sometimes I take
Total control
Sometimes you feed
Me deep in your soul
