Story Behind The Song
This song was written, performed, and recorded by the 3 of us who call ourselves RICE CRACKER PROJECT. We tend to do everything in-house when it concerns the making of music, starting from the writing process and up through the final mastering. We are our own DO IT YOURSELF band.
Song Description
This song was written by me and Stephen, nearly 50/50 with the music written by the entire Rice Cracker Project group, which includes Nick Wilcox. The idea for the music came from Nick wanting to have a semi-reggae beat during a song's chorus. This song was originally entitled, "It Ain't Reggae."

Lyrics
WHERE THERE'S SUCH BLATANT INNUENDO,
WHEN PEAKING THROUGH A TINY TINTED WINDOW,
AND FEELING FRIKSY AND WANTING TO STAY,
THE WORDS EXCITE THEM, BODY LANGUAGE AT PLAY.
WHAT HAD HAPPENED, UNEXPECTED OCCURRED,
MISUNDERSTANDING ALL THAT THEY HEARD--
THEY'LL SEE THIS THROUGH AND CLARIFY,
TELLING THE TRUTH WHICH STILL CAN BE A LIE.
SHE WANTS IT HER WAY, AND HE WANTS IT HIS WAY
HE HEADS FOR THE FREEWAY, SHES OFF ON A SEGUE.
THEY CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS; THEY'RE STUCK AT THE MIDWAY.
THEY CHECK OUT THE REPLAY, IT ALL TURNS OUT SIDEWAYS.
THEY'VE OPENED UP WALKWAYS, BUT CLOSED OFF THEIR DOORWAYS.
THEY'RE LOST IN THE HALLWAYS, CAUSE THEY WANT IT ALL WAYS.
(SOLO)
HE GOES DEEPER, PENETRATING WITHIN;
THEY MUST ABORT, YET THEY DO IT AGAIN.
IT'S NOT A SIN IF NO ONE EVER GETS HURT.
IT'S NOT CHEATING IF IT'S ONLY A FLIRT.
THEIR EYES, STAR CROSSED, AS LOVERS AT NIGHT,
LIKE AN ORGASM CAUSING FIGHT OR FLIGHT.
FIRST AS STRANGERS, BUT NOW ACQUAINTED.
AN ATTRACTION THAT CAN ONLY BE TAINTED.
HE WANTS IT HIS WAY, AND SHE WANTS IT HER WAY.
HE OFFERS SOME FOREPLAY, SHE GRANTS HIM SOME LEEWAY.
HE SHOOTS FOR THE FAIRWAY, BUT SENDS IT OFF SIDEWAYS.
HE STILL THINKS IT'S IN-PLAY, SO SHE FAKES HER "O"-FACE.
HE TAKES IT THE WRONG WAY, SHE TELLS HIM IT'S OKAY.
THEY'VE TAKEN THE LONG WAY, TO GET TO THE SAME PLACE.
