Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (like life)

Theres a new game we like to play, you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog, get me down on my knees

We call it Master and Servant
We call it Master and Servant

Its a lot like life, this play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality

Lets play Master and Servant
Lets play Master and Servant

Its a lot like life and thats whats appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one

Dominations the name of the game
In bed or in life, theyre both just the same
Except in one youre fulfilled at the end of the day

Lets play Master and Servant
Lets play Master and Servant

Come on
Come on
Master and Servant

Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (like life)

Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (its a lot)
Master and Servant

Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (its a lot)
Its a lot (like life)

Its a lot like life and thats whats appealing (its a lot like life)
If you despise that throwaway feeling (its a lot like life)
From disposable fun
Then this is the one

Lets play Master and Servant
Come on, Master and Servant
Lets play Master and Servant
Come on, Master and Servant
Lets play Master and Servant (its a lot)
Come on, Master and Servant (its a lot)
