I’d Rather Have Sex Lyrics

[Intro]
La-la-la-la
La-la-ta-ta
La-la-la-la
La-la-ta-ta

[Chorus]
We can go right, we can go left
Stay up all night in an argument, nah
I'd rather have sex, yeah
Rather have—, yeah, yeah
If we gon' flex, might as well flex
Work that (Mm), till it all makes sense, yeah
I'd rather have sex, yeah
Rather have—, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Rather have—
Yeah, I'd rather have—
Yeah, I'd rather have sex
Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Yeah
I'd rather have sex
Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Yeah

[Verse 1]
It's warm in this water
Back stroke, do the honors
Make it yours, push it farther
Put it right where I wanna
We can fight
But I don't wanna
Clothes are boring
Let me take it off for you (La-la-la-la)
[Pre-Chorus]
Come over
Come and touch my body
Every part of me
I wanna feel you on me
Touch me, apologies are stupid
Beggars can still be choosers
I want it, so let's do this

[Chorus]
We can go right, we can go left
Stay up all night in an argument, nah
I'd rather have sex, yeah
Rather have—, yeah, yeah
If we gon' flex, might as well flex
Work that (Mm), till it all makes sense, yeah
I'd rather have sex, yeah
Rather have—, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Rather have—
Yeah, I'd rather have—
Yeah, I'd rather have sex
Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Yeah
I'd rather have sex
Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Yeah
[Verse 2]
Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you?
Wanna jump in the pool?
Take a sip of the Kool-Aid
Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you?
Instead of wasting your time
Saying things that you don't mean, yeah
Show me how you love me, yeah
One, two, three, foreplay, yeah
One, two, three, foreplay, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Come over
Come and touch my body
Every part of me
I wanna feel you on me
Touch me, apologies are stupid
Beggars can still be choosers
I want it, so let's do this

[Chorus]
We can go right, we can go left
Stay up all night in an argument, nah
I'd rather have sex, yeah
Rather have—, yeah, yeah
If we gon' flex, might as well flex
Work that (Mm), till it all makes sense, yeah
I'd rather have sex, yeah
Rather have—, yeah, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
I'd rather have—
Yeah, I'd rather have—
Yeah, I'd rather have sex
Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Yeah
I'd rather have sex
Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
