Craving sex like the devil but I fear it
More than God
God was so fearing
Of sex
I heard he made people out of stars
Must’ve been hot
He ripped a rib
Out of his first and only human
Just to make a point
I don't know about you but I have a few ideas
About a better way
to make a baby
That gift of God-giving life was more divine
When God found a way around it
Divine virgin let me know
God, let me know
How to have sex without fear
