Safe Sex

Music and lyrics by Jim Steinman. Recorded by Pandora's Box on the album Original Sin.

 

No one ever said I was a gullible girl,

I don't believe everything that I'm told,

I've been around and I know the ropes

And I won't get fooled again.

 

I don't believe in no fairy tales,

I don't believe in the man in the moon

And no pot of gold or anything else

Is waiting at the rainbow's end.

 

I got no illusions now,

I guess I lost them long ago.

You're not gonna get me with this

Cos I already know.

 

Baby there's no such thing,

Baby it just ain't true.

And there's no such thing as safe sex

When it comes to loving you.

When it comes to loving you.

No such thing,

Baby it just ain't true.

And there's no such thing as safe sex

When it comes to loving you.

 

There's always the danger of losing control,

And of breaking my heart and exposing my soul.

There's just no protection from the look in your eyes

Or the touch of your hand when I break down and cry.

 

There's always the risk of surrendering more

Than I ever intended to do.

And there's no such thing as safe sex

When it comes to loving you.

When it comes to loving you.

 

No such thing,

Baby it just ain't true.

And there's no such thing as safe sex

When it comes to loving you.

When it comes to loving you.

When it comes to loving you.

When it comes to loving you.

When it comes to loving you.

 

I don't believe in no boogeyman,

I don't believe in no pie in the sky

And you can wish upon a star until the stars are gone

It doesn't mean it's really so.

 

There's no such thing as Santa Claus,

There's no such thing as getting money for nothing

No yellow brick road is gonna take you there

Wherever you've been trying to go.

 

We'll never be as young as this,

No matter how we try, we grow.

You're not such an innocent boy,

And I already know.

 

Baby there's no such thing,

Baby it just ain't true.

And there's no such thing as safe sex

When it comes to loving you.

 

No such thing,

Baby it just ain't true.

And there's no such thing as safe sex

When it comes to loving you.

 

There's always the danger of giving too much,

Love is often a drug, love is often a crutch.

There's no guarantee I can handle it all,

The higher the climb, the longer the fall.

 

There's always the danger of losing control

And of breaking my heart and exposing my soul.

There's just no protection from that look in your eye

Or the touch of your hand when I break down and cry.

 

There's always the risk of revealing much more

Than I ever intended to do

And there's no such thing as safe sex

When it comes to loving you.

 

No such thing,

Baby it just ain't true

And there's no such thing as safe sex

When it comes to loving you.

 

No such thing,

Baby it just ain't true

And there's no such thing as safe sex

When it comes to loving you.
