Lyrics

If I ask you difficult questions

Asking challenging or uncomfortable questions

If I make improper suggestions

Making inappropriate or suggestive remarks

Would you find that a risk to your health

Wondering if this would pose a risk to your well-being

Would you put me up on the bookshelf

Considering being placed aside like objects

With the books and the plants?

Comparing being stored away with books and plants


Desperate but not serious

Feeling desperate but not treating it as a serious matter

Your kisses drive me delirious

Expressing how intense and overwhelming your kisses are


If I were kind and adoring

Contemplating being kind and affectionate

How would that be?

Questioning how that behavior would be perceived

Very boring Mister Pressman

Referring to someone as boring and likely a journalist

With your penknife always asking about my sex life

Being consistently asked personal, intrusive questions

and who with and how many times?

Being questioned about sexual encounters and frequency


Desperate but not serious

Feeling desperate but not considering it a grave matter

Your kisses drive me delirious

Reiterating the overwhelming effect of kisses


All the advice seems so unkind

Not finding advice received helpful or compassionate

"If you don't stop, you will go blind!"

Quoting a cliché warning in a humorous context

They tell you it's none of their business

People claiming your personal life isn't their concern

and console you with a big kiss

Attempting to comfort with physical affection

on the lips and on the back of your neck

Describing where the comforting gestures occur

(oh heck!)

An exclamation expressing surprise or frustration


Desperate but not serious

Reiterating a sense of desperation without seriousness

Your kisses drive me delirious

Highlighting the overwhelming effect of kisses again

Desperate but not serious

Repeating the notion of desperation without gravity

Your kisses drive me delirious

Emphasizing the impact of kisses once more
