  • You must treat your lover girl right
    If you wanna make lover's rock
    You must know a place you can kiss
    To make lover's rock

    Everybody knows it's a crying shame
    But nobody knows the poor baby's name
    When she forgot that thing that she had (yeah)
    Oh, to swallow

    Oh, you Western man, you're free with your seed
    When you make lover's rock
    But whoops, there goes the strength that you need
    To make real cool lover's rock

    A genuine lover takes off his clothes
    And he can make a lover in a thousand goes
    And she don't need that thing that she had, yeah
    Oh, to swallow, know what I mean? Oh

    Yeah, you must treat your lover girl right
    To make lover's rock
    You must know the place you can kiss
    To make lover's rock

    Everybody knows it's a crying shame
    But nobody knows the poor baby's name
    When she forgot that thing that she had
    Oh, to swallow (yeah)

    Yeah, you throw away all your human theories
    Once you lost that grubby feeling, yeah, hey

    (They call it lover's rock)
    Ridiculous innit?
    But that's what they call it
    (They call it lover's rock)
    So, follow me now

    Whoa (they call it lover's rock)
    (They call it lover's rock)
    (They call it lover's rock) lover's rock
    (They call it lover's rock) lover's rock
    (They call it lover's rock)
    We stay on the floor now (oh, whoa)

    (They call it lover's rock)
    (They call it lover's rock)
    (They call it lover's rock)
    Throw your dollars

    (They call it lover's rock)
    (They call it lover's rock)
    (They call it lover's rock)
    It's enormous

    (They call it lover's rock) Writer/s: Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Topper Headon

  • Bitcoin Bicyclist from OccidentalSeems to me that it could be partially inspired by Mantak Chia who writes in books like Taoist Secrets of Love about how frequent ejaculations lead to dissipation of strength.
