I met her in the Museum of Paleontology
And I make no bones about it
I said, 'If you wish to study dinosaurs
I know a specimen whose interest is undoubted'

Trapped in a body that is failin' me
Well, please allow me to be succinct
I wanna love you whilst we both still have flesh upon our bones
Before we both become extinct

That's what I told her, 'I wanna be your lover'
And then I told her twice, 'I wanna be your lover'

Well, he says he loves you like a sister
Well, I guess, I guess that's relative
He says that he wants to make love to you
Well, instead of 'To', shouldn't that be 'With'?

Oh, I told you once I wanna be your lover
And now I've told you twice, homes, I wanna be your lover

And so I come to you filled with guilt and self-loathin'
And I am prayin' that you could make me good
And so I fall upon your neck just like a vampire
Yeah, like a vampire who faints at the sight of blood

And I told you once I wanna be your lover
I'm gonna say it again
And then I told you twice I wanna be your lover

Well, this is my CV and I've got no one else to blame
So I will state, state my case, yeah, I will state it again

Come and help yourself to leftovers
Got a little surplus love and affection
And gettin' cuddly, so won't you cuddle me?
I could be your teddy bear, oh yeah

I know I ain't no eligible bachelor
This is no mouth waterin' proposition
Make no mistake, you're in big trouble, little lady
If we start a-huggin' and a-kissin'
And a-kissin', are you listenin'?

'Cause I told you once and then I told you twice
And now I told you three times
And at the risk of repeatin' myself
I'm gonna say it again

Yeah, I wanna be your lover
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna be your lover
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna be your lover

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna be your lover
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna be your lover
