They have been searching for most of my life

For someone to tame me, to make me his wife

They say I'm unruly, I know that's not true

From down on my knees I look up at you



You seem quite severe, but you promise me "dear

No one will harm you with me standing here"

Is this my good fortune? I'm finally in luck?

Now what I receive is a kinder and gentler fuck



Patronizing with an obnoxious voice

You'll make me pregnant, then leave me no choice

With my civil rights stripped and my hair in a state

I wanted more, so much more from this date



You say "babe, look at me, I'm good as it gets

Now I'm doing my part, you better get wet"

How dare I complain of this broncing young buck?

Take him at his word it's a kinder and gentler fuck



Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la

Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Wiggle those hips, read those lips

Wiggle those hips, read those lips



My will to change is going all limp as he

Plunges away, don't you dare call him wimp

Still I wonder about his priorities

And those damn special-interest minorities



The ACLU and the Middle East

AIDS, legalized abortion and the deficit

Maybe it's logical, maybe I'm stuck

But don't we all deserve more than a kinder and gentler fuck
