Better By The Pound - Me'Shell Ndegéocello

Pleasure is the motivation 
For the human race 
Everything starts and ends with sex 
And appeal 
Feeling good is the bait 
They use to fish for you and me 
Comfort is the poison 
It's your spirit they want to kill 
There's a tidal wave of mysticism 
Surging through our space-aged generation 
And it's all designed 
To take you to the sky 

There's such a need 
To get nice 
And feel nice 
And I need it more than I ought to 
I said 
My preacher keeps promisin' satisfaction 
The ladies keep giving up the gratifaction 
You know what? 
I'm feeling better 
By the pound 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 
Surging through our space-aged generation 
And it's all designed 
To take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 

I'm feeling better by the pound 
By the pound 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 
Surging through our space-aged generation 
Try to take your mind 
It's all designed 
To take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 

I'm feeling better by the pound 
Yeah 

Satisfaction 
Gratifaction 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 
Surging through our space-aged generation 
And it's all designed 
To take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 
Surging through our space-aged generation 
And it's all designed 
To take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky
