about

There's the complication that another person's body fluids are involved
along with gonorrhea, herpes and aids and other communicables… the chorus about sums up the sobering situation for singles (& roamers) these days. Totally at odds with this is the continuing tittiallation used to sell stuff, like movies, magazines, cars, toothpaste and fashion. Making money knows few boundaries… someone said, it's difficult to persuade someone that something is true when their livelihood depends on their not understanding it.

lyrics

seems like it would be fun to sleep with a different partner each night
take it from someone who's been there from that
notion you might want to take flight

there's the complication that another person's body fluids are involved
along with gonorrhea, herpes and aids and other communicables

2.
the Hollywood glow can titter and roll down the slope in a hospital bed
romance grows thin when your oxygen
reads zero like the hair on your head

there's the complication that another person's body fluids are involved
along with gonorrhea, herpes and aids and other communicables

3.
so if you meet a hot one and your health you want to keep
a little hug's ok but I must say any kissin's gotta be on the cheek

there's the complication that another person's body fluids are involved
along with gonorrhea, herpes and aids and other communicables
