"Celibacy Blues" lyrics

"Celibacy Blues"

This here celibacy thing
Lord, just got something over me
Like an addict, I could really use a thing
You know what I'm talking about
Yeah
It's been hard to sleep at night
And ying ying ying ying ying it
Scratching it right
I get some new batteries almost every night
Lord, this here celibacy thing

The stresses of this world
You know how they come down on a girl
I'm trying to clear my mind
But all I seem to find
Is this gangsta-, gangsta-type of need

People say mind over matter
But, I don't mind what they say
And it don't matter
This here celibacy thing
Is working on me
Uh-huh
