When you make love, do you look in the mirror?Who do you think of?Does he look like me?Do you tell lies?And say that it's forever? Do you think twice, or just touch'n'see?Ooh babeOoh yeahWhen you're alone, do you let go?Are you wild'n'willin or is it just for show?Ooh C'mon
I don't wanna touch you too much baby'Cos making love to you might drive me crazyI know you think that love is the way you make itSo I don't wanna be there when you decide to break itNo!
Chorus(Love bites, love bleeds)It's bringin' me to my knees(Love lives, love dies)It's no surprise(Love begs, love pleads)It's what I need
When I'm with you, are you somewhere else?Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?When you wake up, will you walk out?It can't be love if you throw it aboutOoh babe
I don't wanna touch you too much baby'Cos making love to you might drive me crazyOh
Oh yeah!
(Love bites, love bleeds)It's bringin' me to my knees(Love lives, love dies)
(Love bites, love bleeds)It's bringin' me to my knees(Love lives, love dies)It's no surprise(Love begs, love pleads)It's what I need
If you've got love in your sightsWatch out, love bitesYes it doesBloody Hell

"Love crops up quite a lot as something to sing about,cos most groups make most of their songs about falling in loveor how happy they are to be in love,you occasionally wonder why these groups do sing about it all the time -it's because these groups think there's something very special about iteither that or else it's because everybody else sings about it and always has,you know to burst into song you have to be inspiredand nothing inspires quite like love.
These groups and singers think that they appeal to everyoneby singing about love because apparently everyone has or can loveor so they would have you believe anywaybut these groups seem to go along with what, the beliefthat love is deep in everyone's personality.I don't think we're saying there's anything wrong with love,we just don't think that what goes on between two peopleshould be shrouded with mystery."
Love'll get you like a case of anthraxAnd that's something I don't want to catchLove'll get you like a case of anthraxAnd that's something I don't want to catch

Is this anything like a reach-around?
More to the point, I think humans have (d)evolved to the point where standard mammalian mating traditions and rituals just don't apply as much anymore. People don't HAVE to be as committed anymore, because people are learning to live life and enjoy it enough (and i stress "enough") without being co-dependent on some other significant other.. and the resources for humans to live independently, alone, and without much misery for a majority of their lifespans are plentiful... whereas other animals don't know any better, for lack of a kinder phrase.
Relationships have become more of a social status dynamic than a basic-necessity-of-life dynamic -- very generally speaking. I'm not saying people who seek relationships on the latter terms are being hypocritical... but I do believe that most people's senses of being miserable and lonely when single are almost wholely media and, hence, socially driven. Of course, our bodies by instinct occasionally want to be near a warm human being consistently too, but -- again -- there are ways to almost (and i stress "almost") supplement this without requiring a long-term relationship.
Take this with a grain of salt. I'm only stating this from my own body and mind. Obviously, other bodies and minds are wired very differently. I'm probably one of "the fucked up ones."
I'm not saying humans are happier than other animals in this regard. Instinct, much like ignorance, can be bliss.
