"For The Good Of The Cause"

Bodies like yours should
Be used for something
More than just waving around like a flag
Don't get me wrong I
Don't mean to tell you
I want you for only your body 'cause baby it just ain't my bag
What's living inside that beautiful closet?
Won't you let it bloom out for awhile?
We got our flaws
All need applause
Come and get it for the good of the cause

People will lead you
Into believing
That I don't love ya, but you know it ain't true
Didn't I take you
When you was no one?
Put you up very comfortably honey on Fifth Avenue
I only wanted
The best for us baby
So give it the best that you can
And we got our flaws
All need applause
Come and give it for the good of the cause

Come and give it for the good of the cause

Ooo, hoo, ooo, come and give it for the good of the cause

Some guys I know would
Sell their own mother
Just for a glass of wine
We got our flaws
All need applause
Come and get it for the good of the cause, yeah
Come and get it for the good of the cause
Come and get it for the good of the cause

For the good of the cause
For the good of the cause

For the good of the cause
For the good of the cause
Ooo, hoo, hoo
