[Intro]
I...I...I...I...
Erotic City, Erotic City
[Verse 1]
All of my purple life
I've been looking for a dame
That would wanna be my wife
That was my intention main
[Chorus]
(If we cannot make babies
Maybe we can make some time)
Fuck so pretty, you and me
Erotic City come alive
[Post-Chorus]
(We can fuck until the dawn
Makin' love 'til cherry's gone)
Erotic City, can't you see?
Fuck so pretty, you and me
[Verse 2]
Every time I comb my hair
Thoughts of you get in my eyes
You're a sinner, I don't care
I just want your creamy thighs
[Chorus]
(If we cannot make babies
Maybe we can make some time)
Fuck so pretty, you and me
Erotic City come alive
[Post-Chorus]
(We can fuck until the dawn
Makin' love 'til cherry's gone)
Erotic City, can't you see?
Fuck so pretty, you and me
Woo!
[Verse 3]
All of my hang-ups are gone
How I wish you felt the same
We could fuck until the dawn (Until the dawn)
How I wish you were my dame (Baby, won't you be my dame?)
[Chorus]
(If we cannot make babies
Maybe we can make some time)
Fuck so pretty, you and me
Erotic City come alive
[Post-Chorus]

Makin' love 'til cherry's gone)
Erotic City, can't you see?
Fuck so pretty, you and me
