Taken from the 1995 album Do You Hate Me

lyrics

I know it’s not my business
But does he treat you well?
Because the way you are these days
You know it’s hard to tell
You just make dark suggestions
Then slip away to confession
Your Catholic guilt has the better of you
Affects the way you feel but not what you do.

It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
I just want to hear it in your own words

And when did you last laugh?
I think it’s quite a while
You’re a ghost of your former self
I miss the way you used to smile
And does his passion compensate
For always feeling so third rate?
Can you tell me what he does
That gives you such a mighty buzz?

It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
I just want to hear it in your own words
It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
I just want to hear it from your own lips

It’s not a perverted pleasure
I don’t mean to pry
It’s not a perverted pleasure
But if he’s making you cry
It’s not a perverted pleasure
So if you ‘d just try…
I just want to hear it in your own words
I just want to hear from your own lips
I just want to hear from your own lips
From your lips, from your lips
Your lips, your lips, your lips, your lips
