It had a lot of breathings on it, which was like "huh huh!". It was a really cool freaking song and he didn’t want that to come out at all. Ever! I thought there must be a bad memory associated with that or whatever that is about. I’ve asked often about, even with the Estate and they don’t know which one I’m talking about.

The lyrics said, ‘I don’t want to know your name, all I want to do is introduce my sex to yours... ’ or something like that. I actually think I told him he should do it. But then, after a while, he started thinking that that kind of stuff was beneath him."'' | ||
