lyrics

To be a man is to be obsessed with women
Pretty much that's what we think about
You can hide it, channel it, be a good boy
But you gotta spread the seed about

To be a woman is to wanna keep your man
Keep him true and keep him close
There are many tools you can learn to use
Love is only one of those

It's the dance of the species
May I have this dance with you?
Can't promise you forever
Let's enjoy it while we do

Many of our greatest leaders
Womanizers through and through
With power comes temptation
Spiritual leaders too

Through the years I've learned to curb it
Hide it, channel it, be a good boy
Even now I'm getting older
It still rules much of my joy

It's the dance of the species
May I have this dance with you?
Can't promise you tomorrow
Let's enjoy it while we do

The dance of the species
'Go forth and multiply'
With so many of us all over the world
Can't help bu wonder why
