  • One time you were my baby chicken
    Now you've grown into a fox
    Once upon a time I was your little rooster
    But am I just one of your cocks

    It's rough justice on ya
    You're going to have to trust me
    It's rough justice
    But you know I'll never break your heart

    So put your lips to my hips, baby
    And tell me what's on your mind
    I know you've still got the animal attraction for me
    It's been a long, long time

    It's rough justice on ya
    We never thought it risky
    It's rough justice
    But you know I'll never break your heart

    You're feeling loose and lusty
    So if you really want me
    Yeah, it's rough justice
    And you know I'll never break your heart, yeah

    It's rough justice on ya
    You think you really sussed me
    It's rough justice
    But you know I'll never break your heart

    The first time I saw you, baby
    You were springing like a young gazelle
    And next thing I know, way down the road
    You had me flying like a bat out of hell

    It's rough justice on ya
    Your eyes are too disgusted
    You're going to have to trust me
    But you know I'll never break your heart

    I give you my positions
    Don't want no oppositions
    It's rough justice
    But you know I'll never break your heart

    Yeah
