Munchies for Your Love
Bootsy’s Rubber Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Your love is more than good
It's good and then it's kind of fun
It's like staying up after bedtime when you're still just a kid
Your love is two for one
It's sweet and then it's kind of fun
It's like a whole lot of good things
Rolled up into one candy, like love
Your love is a kinda special treat
A personal stash
And I'm selfish with your love, you see
Your love is kind of sweet, sweet enough to eat
I'm hooked on you chocolate star
I got the munchies for your love
Your love is kind of sweet, sweet enough to eat
I'm hooked on you chocolate star
I got the munchies for your candy-like love

Your love is more than good
It's like so good and then it's kind of fun
It's like staying up after bedtime when you're still just a kid
Your love is two for one (you're double pleasure)
It's sweet and then it's kind of fun
It's a whole lot of good things
Rolled up into one candy-like love

Oh your love is a kinda special treat
Oh yeah, you're my personal stash
And I'm so selfish with your love, you see
