Better By The Pound Lyrics - Me'shell Ndegéocello

(George Clinton/Eddie Hazel) 

Pleasure is the motivation 

For the human race 

Everything starts and ends with sex 

And appeal 

Feeling good is the bait 

They use to fish for you and me 

Comfort is the poison 

It's your spirit they want to kill 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 

Surging through our space-aged generation 

And it's all designed 

To take you to the sky

There's such a need 

To get nice 

And feel nice 

And I need it more than I ought to 

I said 

My preacher keeps promisin' satisfaction 

The ladies keep giving up the gratifaction 

You know what? 

I'm feeling better 

By the pound 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 

Surging through our space-aged generation 

And it's all designed 

To take you to the sky 

Take you to the sky 

Take you to the sky

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 

Surging through our space-aged generation 

Try to take your mind 

It's all designed

Take you to the sky 

Take you to the sky 

I'm feeling better by the pound

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 

Surging through our space-aged generation 

And it's all designed 

To take you to the sky 

Take you to the sky 

Take you to the sky 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 

Surging through our space-aged generation 

And it's all designed 

To take you to the sky 

Take you to the sky 

Take you to the sky
