Good 4 Sex
Marion Raven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm better off with a perfect stranger
You turned it out but you really don't care
Loving you is a total nightmare
You want me
To want you
You want everything for nothing
Hey
I like the way you move
I like the way you walk, talk, do
The things I want you to do
Hey
I like the way you scratch my itch
Ain't it a bitch, baby
You got me hooked now I gotta break free
you're Good 4 Sex but you're bad for me
Dressed in black like a devil's angel
Every kiss on your lips is shameful
You got a heart but you never used it
You always win when you make me lose it
I want you
To want me
But you count me down to nothing
I want you
To want me
I want everything you do
The way the day you have me on my knees
Just kicking and screaming, begging you to stay
You know you're bad for me...

I think this is pretty much an ANTHEM for most women, especially those of us who experience a "bad boy", lol! Marion Raven is a gorgeous ROCK STAR and this song is an ultimate GREAT rock song! It has sex, it has great vocals and instrumentation, and it's got a good hook "You're good for sex, but you're bad for me!" Don't understand why this wasn't a smash hit, but my band covers it in bars and we always give Marion the credit and direct people to her Youtube channel! :) P.S., if she wants us to pay her royalties for playing her song in bars we most certainly will! :)
