One baby to another says, "I'm lucky to have met you" I don't care what you think unless it is about me It is now my duty to completely drain you I travel through a tube and end up in your infection Chew my meat for you Pass it back and forth in a passionate kiss From my mouth to yours I like you With eyes so dilated, I've became your pupil You've taught me everything without a poison apple The water is so yellow I'm a healthy student Indebted and so grateful Vacuum out the fluids Chew my meat for you Pass it back and forth in a passionate kiss From my mouth to yours I like you, you, you, you, you, you One baby to another says, "I'm lucky to have met you" I don't care what you think unless it is about me It is now my duty to completely drain you A travel through a tube and end up in your infection Chew my meat for you Pass it back and forth in a passionate kiss From my mouth to yours Sloppy lips to lips You're my vitamins I like you
