Don't you want people to love you?
My spanking, that's the only thing I want so much
My spanking, that's the only thing I want so much

Why is that better than being hugged?
Why is that better than being hugged?
Because you get closer to the person
Closer to the person
Why is that better than being hugged?
Because you get closer to the person
Closer to the person
Just like a person having sex feels cared for
We wanna be loved, so we have sex together
And they feel loved about that
And this is the way it makes me feel... loved
I want it, I dream about it, i think about it, I want it
Just like a girl wants sex with a boy, you know?
It's the way I'll always be probably
My last one was born in the system
See, they're stupid, very stupid, those people over there

These people are so below mentality, honest to god, really
You know what I mean, he got the nerve to bug me
You know what I mean, he got the nerve to bug me

She prides herself on her cleaning habits

It's a lovely stupid mop, it is
There's something really screwy about no streaking
Is it any old dumb mop? it streaks
Come on mop, no streaking mop
I don't mind mop the floor, my mop streaks, I don't like it
It's not me, it's the mop
Come, I bought some new mops
Go away you stupid, dumb old sponge mop
I don't believe it... now the floor looks beautiful
I don't believe it... now the floor looks beautiful
I don't believe it... old sponge mop
Dumb old sponge mop
Dumb old sponge mop
Old sponge mop
Dumb old sponge mop
You're right, this mop's stupid
Dumb old sponge mop
I don't believe it... now the floor looks beautiful
That's why they call me mophandlemama
Now the floor looks beautiful
That's why they call me mophandlemama

In two weeks, before she could see herself not dressed
The twenty-third of may... you know she disturbed no one today
The manager told her to completely forget
If you ever go to bed, I'll kill you
Do I tell the whole world that I'm mentally ill?
Go to the papers... yeah, why not?
Drum roll
I want to show them that I can walk on my own without hands of theirs

And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself
Keep it to myself... keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
Very much so
Think I deserve to be loved
Keep it to myself... keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
... to be loved, don't you?
But I keep it to myself
Keep it to myself... keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself
Keep it to myself... keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
Very much so

Do you ever think that you would actually, really kill yourself?
Well, if i have thought about it real, uhh, real deep
Yes, I believe I would
I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep
Yes, I believe I would

And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself
Keep it to myself... keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
Very much so
Think I deserve to be loved
Keep it to myself... keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?

But I keep it to myself

Pearl Jam

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
