Evil Urges Lyrics

What is what? Man they got us so scared
Thinkin we so evil way down under there
Ooh! I made a nasty decision!
To love whoever I want, just a whenever I can

The things they say are evil urges baby
They be part of the human way
It ain't evil baby if it ain't hurting anybody
Evil urges baby they be-part of the human way
It ain't evil baby if it ain't hurtin anybody

If its all the same we're tired of waiting come on then
And dedicate your love to any woman or man
No racial boundary lines, no social subdivisions-
If you want it- you can!

I'm not saying I'm not saying that I want it "someday"
I'm not saying I'm not saying that I want it "somehow"
I'm not saying I'm not saying that I want it "someday," "somehow"
Ooh! I'm ready for it now!

The things they say are evil urges baby they're a part of human way
It ain't evil baby if it ain't hurting anybody
Evil urges maybe good and bad- its all the same?
It ain't evil baby if it ain't hurting anybody, anybody

What is what? Man they got us so scared
Thinkin we so evil way down under there
Ooh! I made a nasty decision!
To love whoever I want, just a whenever I can

The things they say are evil urges baby
They be part of the human way
It ain't evil baby if it ain't hurting anybody
Evil urges baby they be-part of the human way
It ain't evil baby if it ain't hurtin anybody

If its all the same we're tired of waiting come on then
And dedicate your love to any woman or man
No racial boundary lines, no social subdivisions-
If you want it- you can!

I'm not saying I'm not saying that I want it "someday"
I'm not saying I'm not saying that I want it "somehow"
I'm not saying I'm not saying that I want it "someday," "somehow"
Ooh! I'm ready for it now!

The things they say are evil urges baby they're a part of human way
It ain't evil baby if it ain't hurting anybody
Evil urges maybe good and bad- its all the same?
It ain't evil baby if it ain't hurting anybody, anybody
