Make me, make me sweat
|
Til I'm wet, til I'm dry
|
But then wipe this tear from my eye
|
Haven't even felt this warm in a long time
|
Even out in the bright sunshine
|
In a lifetime of springtimes
|
|
I fall into your arms
|
With my heart pumpin' on
|
Like a bubblin' dub track
|
Like a garlicy hot tongue and lip smack
|
|
I did some contemplation
|
Before we got down to this consecration
|
Or maybe baby something in your kiss said
|
It was an impetous
|
For me to rethink this
|
|
If I love you
|
Then I better get tested
|
Make sure we are protected
|
|
I walk through the park
|
Dressed like a question mark
|
Hark!
|
I hear my memory bark
|
In the back of my brain,
|
Makn' me insane...
|
...like cocaine
|
|
[Chorus]
|
But how'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive?
|
Is it gonna be a negative?
|
How'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive?
|
Is it gonna be a negative?
|
But how'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive?
|
|
Dawned on me, it seemed to me
|
That this is unusual scenery
|
This red light greenery
|
Make me feel kinda dreamery
|
Thinkin' how I used to be
|
|
Arrive at the clinic
|
And walk through the front door
|
I take a nervous number
|
Then I'm thinkin' some more
|
About all the time
|
That I neglected
|
Makin sure that
|
I was protected
|
|
They took my blood
|
With an anonymous number
|
Two weeks waitin' wonderin'
|
|
I shoulda done this a long time ago
|
A lot of excuses why I couldn't go
|
I know these things and these things I must know
|
'cause it's better to know than to not know!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I go home to kick it
|
In my apartment
|
I try to give myself
|
A risk assessment
|
The wait is what can really annoy ya
|
Every single day is more paranoya
|
|
I'm readin' about how it gets transmitted
|
Some behavior I must admit it
|
With who I slept with, and who they slept with,
|
Who they, who they, who they slept with
|
|
When I think about life and immortality
|
What's the first thing I do if I'm H.I.V
|
I have a cry and tell my mother
|
Get on the phone and call my past lovers
|
I never thought about infectin' anotha
|
The times that I said "Hmmm? Don't bother."
|
|
Was it really all that magic?
|
The times I didn't use a prophalactic
|
|
Would my whole life have to change?
|
Or my whole life remained the same?
|
Sometimes it makes me wanna shout!
|
All these things too hard to think about
|
A day to laugh, a day to cry
|
A day to live and a day to die
|
'til I find out, I may wonder
|
But I'm not gonna live my life six feet under
|
|
[Chorus]
|
