Lyrics[]
Hey, what's wrong with you Hey, what are you trying to do Because if what you had in mind Is what I think it is, then it's not very kind It won't be necessary It won't be necessary now It won't be necessary It won't be necessary now Hey, what are you doing my love Hey, didn't I just tell you that such a thing would be over and above What's called for in this case Pull the ski mask away from your face It won't be necessary It won't be necessary now It won't be necessary It won't be necessary now It won't be necessary It won't be necessary now
