Desperate But Not Serious
Adam Ant
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
If I ask you difficult questions If I make improper suggestions Would you find that a risk to your health Would you put me up on the bookshelf With the books and the plants? Desperate but not serious Your kisses drive me delirious If I were kind and adoring How would that be? Very boring Mister Pressman With your penknife always asking about my sex life and who with and how many times? Desperate but not serious Your kisses drive me delirious All the advice seems so unkind "If you don't stop, you will go blind!" They tell you it's none of their business and console you with a big kiss on the lips and on the back of your neck (oh heck!) Desperate but not serious Your kisses drive me delirious Desperate but not serious Your kisses drive me delirious
