Story Behind The Song
While working part time at a French restaurant, I told a friend that I wanted to write a song that sounded like a French "cafe" song, and I thought perhaps it should somehow have food as part of the theme. This friend gave me the idea to make the song seem like it was about food, but really it was all symbolic of a lusty relationship. Eventually, it evolved into being one big double entendre, where every line sounds like it is about a relationship or affair, but really each line is meant to be representative of food, specifically the ingredients in my favorite French recipe, ratatouille.

Lyrics
Lusciously on my lips your taste
Piques my tongue to salivate
Leaves my mouth to insatiably crave
Your tempting lure cannot abstain
Buxom curves you're so sweet and ripe
Smoking hot you enflame with spice
Juices ooze with my tender bite
Succulent skin smooth as buffed gneiss
Curse this ravenous affair
The more I hunger the sooner you're gone
This won't last, we don't have a prayer
You will bitter and then you'll move on
Pensez que cette chanson sur le sexe
Est destiné à confondre, perplexe
Doubles sens sur la nourriture
Ma recette préférée, la ratatouille
Curse this ravenous affair
The more I hunger the sooner you're gone
This won't last, we don't have a prayer
You will bitter and then you'll move on
Oh...
Ah...
Curse this ravenous affair
The more I hunger the sooner you're gone
This won't last, we don't have a prayer
You will bitter and then you'll move on
