LYRICS:
Every once in a while, there’s a little to spare.
We splurge on a sitter and go out somewhere.
Maybe a movie or a drink or two,
I was thinking about it baby, I'll tell you what I’d like to do.
I vote for recreational sex.
Lay down beside, baby, clear the decks.
It’s natural as the day, we love our worries away,
I’ll show you how I feel in that sweet old human way.
Groceries and laundry and time we have not,
We’re making it work with whatever we got.
Three kids and ten jobs, somehow we get through.
We hold it together with scotch tape and glue
And a little old-fashioned recreational sex.
Life is a puzzle but our pieces connect.
It’s natural as the day, turn out the light, pull down the shade,
I’ll show you how I feel in that sweet old human way.
What’s happening lately, I don’t understand,
When a woman’s decisions come down to man.
You can’t say you’re for freedom while taking my rights.
It’s late in the evening, but this isn’t goodnight.
I vote for recreational sex.
This court’s out of order, your honor I object.
It’s natural as the day, don’t take my birth control away,
I’ll show you how I feel in that sweet old human way.
It’s natural as the day, I got something I want to say,
I’ll show you how I feel in that sweet old human way.
