 x2
Why  should gay boys get all the good seats?
(Runnin'  around, runnin' around)
Little  girl, god gave ya two good feets for
(Runnin'  around, runnin' around)
Your  legs are crossed and your shoe is danglin'
Yo!
 (???)the shape I'm in
Come  on baby, let's get over the street
So  goddamn great, I wanna kiss your feet!
 Since I was a boy, loved them high-heeled shoes
 (Runnin' around, runnin' around)
 Just lookin' at you in 'em takes away my blues
 (Runnin' around, runnin' around)
 I'm right behind ya, flyin' up them stairs
 Yo...
 What we do up there, I don't care
 I be lovin' what I seen from here
 You got flesh-colored underwear!
 Let's play secretary, let's have a little fun
 (Runnin' around, runnin' around)
 I'll take dictation, you're the bossy one
 (Runnin' around, runnin' around)
 On a desk that's just yea-high
 Duh.....
 You spread your wings just like a butterfly
 My god, it's almost made ya deified
 I love you, baby, cause you ain't shy
 Taste so sweet, feel I been glorified!
Sexless  Italian actress at the Vatican
(Runnin'  around, runnin' around)
Confessin'  to a demented clergyman
(Runnin'  around, runnin' around)
Esmerelda  and the Hunchback of Notre Dame
(Runnin'  around, runnin' around)
Beauty  and the Beast, Cocteau is to blame!
(Runnin'  around, runnin' around)
Who  cares what the neighbors say?
(Runnin'  around, runnin' around)
They  gonna talk about us anyway!
(Runnin'  around, runnin' around)
The  young gravedigger and the corpse
(Runnin'  around, runnin' around)
I  love you, baby, you're so warped!
