I remember dating when I was seventeen
Was so shy and nervous didn't have much self-esteem
The girls would think I'm cute, but what was I to do?
I'd get to second base and wait for them to make a move
They'd bite me on the neck and scratch my inner thigh
I learned that pain is pleasure and wanted to get high
Am I a masochist or just a boy in heat?
This love bites and I want in just give me what I need
Just gimme black knees
Just gimme black knees
Just gimme black knees
Just gimme black knees
Just gimme black
Just gimme black
Just gimme black
Just gimme black knees
I practiced all the time with shiny razor blades
Cut my arms and drank my blood “Is this some kind of phase?”
The girls I met at night were into B&D
Christian, Zombie, Vampire and all GLBT
They'd put me on a cross and beat me with a whip
Candle wax and, oh my god, some hands around my neck
Can I see your face? And can you let me breathe?
Patent leather open up and give me what I need
Just gimme black knees
Just gimme black knees
Just gimme black knees
Just gimme black knees
Just gimme black
Just gimme black
Just gimme black
Just gimme black knees
