[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]
I'm counting out time
Got the whole thing down by numbers, all those numbers
Give me guidance, oh Lord, I need that now
The day of judgement's come
And you can bet that I've been resting for this testing
Digesting every word the experts say
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins]
Erogenous zones, I love you
Without you, what would a poor boy do? (Ooh, ah)
[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel]
Found a girl I wanted to date
Thought I'd better get it straight
Went to buy a book before it's too late
Don't leave nothing to fate
I studied every line (Do, do, do, do)
Every page in the book (Do, do, do, do)
And now, I've got the real thing here (Ah-ah)
I'm gonna take a look, take a look
This is it, Rael
[Verse 3: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins]
I'm counting out time (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Hoping it goes like I planned it 'cause I understand it
Look, I've found the hotspots, figures one to nine
Still counting out time (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
I got my finger on the button, don't say nothin'
Just lie there still and I'll get you turned on just fine
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins]
Erogenous zones, I love you
Without you, what would a poor boy do? (Ooh, ah)
[Verse 4: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel]
Touch and go with one to six
Bit of trouble in zone number seven
Gotta remember all of my tricks
There's heaven ahead in number eleven
Getting crucial responses (Do, do, do, do)
With dilation of the pupils (Do, do, do, do)
Honey, get hip! It's time to unzip (Ah-ah)
To unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip, whipee!
Put it away, Mr. Guitar
(Move over, Casanova)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins]
Ah, I'm counting out time (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Reaction none too happy, please don't slap me
I'm a red-blooded male and the book said I could not fail
I'm counting out time (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ah-ah)
I got unexpected distress from my mistress
I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins]
Erogenous zones, I question you
Without you, what would a poor boy do? (Ooh, ah)
Without you, what would a poor boy do? (Ooh, ah)
Without you, mankind hand kinds through the blues (Ooh, ah)
