Ooh, I sure feel like I’m in a pinch
The trap’s set, just a pearl in the pouch and a full-pore cinch.
Hue, been turning me colors with your light graze
My young blood and old soul will take your temperature and
Season you to taste – shake it
Ooh, the very thought of it makes me shake
How slow your motion, how fast I’m zooming in for the take
And what’s more, well, you sure thicken up the plot,
It’s just like the most-wanted prize has been trying to get caught -
Are you trying to get caught?
I’m no angel, I’m no devil – it’s just I revel in your dishevel
And is it me or did I just see your wink?
I don’t mind it if you’re brined, it sort of shows me you take kind
Hell, it’s around the rim... so shall we dive in and drink?
So, am I worth your, I’m ready to unearth your salt
I’m down on all four already and it’s all your fault
Well, am I worth your, I’m ready to unearth your salt
(I wanna make your salt mine)
I’m down on all four already and it’s all your fault
You and your salt
You and your salt
Ooh, why would you skip right to dessert?
Yeh, you’re pretty sick... but why don’t we make a meal, child
It’s time to get cured
Caught you swimming in the sea alone, swept away by undertone
All in’n’out your comfort zone,
Well I’m here to tell you what you hold, that you’re free to take and lose control, don't you be buying everything that’s being sold, babe
(Not when we can make our own, babe)
You’re glistening, I’m listening, taking a shine to your fine definition
On the surface I’m steady, underneath I’ve already succumbed
I must acquire your perspire – it’s how I know that you’re a tryer
I admiring your parts, and I wondering about your sum
(Gimme sum, gimme sum)
Am I worth your, I’m ready to unearth your salt
(I wanna make your salt mine)
I’m down on all four already and it’s all your fault
(We gonna take our sweet time)
Am I worth your, I’m ready to unearth your salt
(I wanna make your salt mine)
I’m down on all four already and it’s all your fault
You and your salt
You and your salt
You and your salt – there’s no passing
You and your salt
I’ll never tire of your perspire
I’m drawing a bead on your never-cease fire
I admiring your parts, and I wondering about your sum
(Gimme sum, gimme sum)
Oh – I'm ready to unearth your salt
(I wanna make your salt mine)
I’m down on all four already and it’s all your fault
(Yeh yeh yeh, we gonna take our sweet time)
Am I worth your, ready to unearth your salt?
(Tears of joy you got my body crying)
All in all, I'd say a pretzel sure is called for
You and your salt
You and your salt
You and your salt
You and your salt
You and your salt
You and your salt
You and your salt
