Make me, make me sweat 
til I'm wet, til I'm dry 
but then wipe this tear from my eye 
haven't felt this warm in a long time 
even out in the bright sunshine 
in lifetime of springtimes 

I fall into your arms 
with my heart pumpin' on 
like a bubblin' dub track 
like a garlicy hot tonque and lip smack 

I did some contemplation 
before we got down to this consecration 
maybe baby something in you kiss said 
it was an impetous 
for me to rethink this 

If I love you 
then I better get tested 
make sure we're protected 

I walk through the park 
dressed like a question mark 
Hark! 
I hear my memory bark 
in the back of my brain, 
makn' me insane... 
...like cocaine  [bad word]  
But how'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive? 
Is it gonna be a negative? 
How'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive? 
Is it gonna be a negative? 
but how'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive? 

It dawned on me, it seemed to me 
this is unusual scenery 
this red light greenery 
make me feel kinda dreamery 
thinkin' how I used to be 

Arrive at the clinic 
walk through the front door 
take a nervous number 
then I think about it more 
about all the time 
that I neglected 
makin sure that 
I was protected 

They took my blood 
With an anonymous number 
two weeks waitin' wonderin' 

I shoulda done this a long time ago 
alot of excuses why I couldn't go 
I know these things and these things I must know 
'cause it's better to know than to not know! 
 [bad word]  

I go home to kick it 
in my apartment 
I try to give myself 
a risk assessment 
the wait is what can really annoy ya 
everyday is more paranoya 

I'm readin' about how it's transmitted 
some behavior I must admit it 
who I slept with, who they slept with, 
who they, who they, who they slept with 

I think about life and immortality 
what's the first thing I do if I'm H.I.V 
have a cry and tell my mother 
get on the phone and call my past lovers 
I never thought about infectin' anotha 
all the times that I said "Hmmm? Don't bother." 

Was it really all that magic? 
The times I didn't use a prophalactic 

Would my whole life have to change? 
or would my whole life remain the same? 
sometimes it makes me wanna shout! 
all these things too hard to think about 
a day to laugh, a day to cry 
a day to live and a day to die 
'til I find out, I may wonder 
but I'm not gonna live my life six feet under 
 [bad word]
