[English]
Daisy's bare naked
I was distraught
He loves me not
He loves me not
Penny's unlucky
I took him back and then
Stepped on a crack
And the black cat laughed
...
And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious (Superstitious)
Fingers crossed until you put your hand on mine
Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck
A bad sign is all good
I ain't gotta knock on wood
...
All of that bitchin', wishing on a falling star
Never did me any good
I ain't got to knock on wood
It's you and me forever dancing in the dark
All over me, it's understood
I ain't got to knock on wood
Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He (Ah!)matized me
And opened my eyes
Redwood tree
It ain't hard to see
His love was the key
That opened my thighs
...
Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet
To know a hard rock is on the way
...
And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious (Superstitious)
The curse on me was broken by your magic wand
Seems to me that you and me, we make our own luck
New Heights of manhood (New Heights, manhood)
I ain't gotta knock on wood
...
All of that bitchin', wishing on a falling star
Never did me any good
I ain't got to knock on wood
It's you and me forever dancing in the dark
All over me, it's understood
I ain't got to knock on wood
Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He (Ah!)matized me
And opened my eyes
Redwood tree
It ain't hard to see
His love was the key
That opened my thighs
...
Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He (Ah!)matized me
And opened my eyes
Redwood tree
It ain't hard to see
His love was the key
That opened my thighs
...
