If I said you had a beautiful body Would you hold it against me If I swore you were an angel, Would you treat me like the devil tonight If I were dying of thirst Would your flowing love come quench me If I said you had a beautiful body Would you hold it against me Now we can talk all night about the weather Tell you 'bout my friends out on the coast I could ask a lot of crazy questions Or I could ask what I really want to know If I said you had a beautiful body Would you hold it against me If I swore you were an angel, Would you treat me like the devil tonight If I were dying of thirst Would your flowing love come quench me If I said you had a beautiful body Would you hold it against me The rain can fall so soft against the window The sun can shine so bright up in the sky But daddy always told me, "Don't make small talk" He said, "Come on out and say what's on your mind" So if I said you had a beautiful body Would you hold it against me If I swore you were an angel, Would you treat me like the devil tonight If I were dying of thirst Would your flowing love come quench me If I said you had a beautiful body Would you hold it against me If I said you had a beautiful body Would you hold it against me If I swore you were an angel, Would you treat me like the devil tonight
