Stephin Merritt - God Wants Us To Wait lyrics

[Verse 1: Shirley Simms] I think I know what you would like us to do When we have children let's have seventy-two Until then we must be resigned to our fate [Chorus] I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait [Verse 2] I guess it's true I should have told you before And not have waited 'til we're nude on the floor Though it would be the perfect end to our date [Chorus] [Verse 3] Now you might like to kiss the dew on my hem But one male and female created He them Our Lord intended us forever to mate [Chorus] [Verse 4] Despite my beauty and the scent of jasmine Could you be happy in the knowledge of sin? Although it may not be a crime in our state [Chorus] [Outro] How much more wonderful to anticipate [Chorus]
