What does love look like? Love looks like you What does love love feel like? Love feels like this What does love smell like? Love smells like us You make me understand What it means to be in L O V E once again Why must we fly so low? Are we 'fraid of heights, do kites get lost in the tow? Stank love, stank love Stank love, stank love Let me show your mind a new freaky side of love Open up you flower please let me taste your love Honeysuckle sweet, can't stop Till I get ever drip drop on my tongue Hitting every spot of you, what you gonna do? Your body is the rhythm of the boom in the room Up and down it seems to go Oh my God I think I'm 'bout to explode Stank love, stank love Stank love, stank love My middle fingertips scan flesh so supple No longer a couple like two in one skin Where do you end and where do I begin? Both brains become one mind sensually Every nerve becoming it's own individual entity With its own lusts, it's own needs to serve Longing for the love of all the other nerves As they ride and twist in satisfaction In the burning chill of pleasure we both bathe Engulfing, encompassing like a cataclysmic shock wave Of an impact so deep but not one of destruction But of creation, elation in the remaking No faking in the relation, no taking in the relation Just giving of persona, making love after making love Till ain't nothing but stankonia Stank love Stank love Stank love Stank love Stank love Stank love
