I formed confused and terrified and tortured obsessions with boys [Chorus] My body My body and mind [Verse 3] My first crush when I was only five was Jared on the swing My first kiss with Derek in the backyard on the trampoline My first time with Michael in the bathroom, I was just fourteen [Chorus] My body My body and mind My first time My first time was [Bridge] All of life еxacting the great Choreographеrs dance A dramatic flamboyance of flamingos And all the pink boys and red girls Under spell in a trance Stretch their necks and salute to the order of romance Romance Romance Romance [Verse 4] My first time with Michael in the bathroom, I was just fourteen I lost my mother when I lost my virginity When I stepped on that crack, I broke my mothers back Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Mother's back Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Mother's back Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba [Chorus] My body [Verse 5] As a child my mother forbade me to play alone with boys What's so scary and so bad and dangerous about the boys?
