S.E.X. Lyrics

You know there's a dirty word
Never gonna say it first
No it's just a thought that never crosses my mind
Maybe in the parking lot
Better bring your friend along
Better rock together than just one at a time

S is for the simplety
E is for the ecstasy
X is just to mark the spot
Because that's the one you really want
(Yes!) Sex is always the answer, it's never a question
Cause the answer's yes, oh the answers (Yes)
Not just a suggestion, if you ask a question
Then it's always yes. Yeeeah

I'm loving what you wanna wear
I wonder what's up under there
Wonder if I'll ever have it under my tongue
I'll love to try to set you free
I love you all over me
Love hearin' the sound you make the second you're done

S is for the simplety
E is for the ecstasy
X is just to mark the spot
Because that's the one you really waaaant
(Yes!) Sex is always the answer, it's never a question
Cause the answer's yes, oh the answer's (Yes)
Not just a suggestion, if you ask a question
Then it's always yes. Yeeeah! (YES)
(Yes!) Sex is always the answer, it's never a question
Cause the answer's yes, oh the answer's (Yes)
Not just a suggestion, if you ask a question
Then it's always yes. Yeeeah! (YES)
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Don't get me wrong, I like Nickelback, but I believe this song contradicts itself. It seems to confuse itself with the little quote "Sex is not the answer. Sex is the question. Yes is the answer." However, this song states that "sex is always the answer, but never a question, because the answer is yes" well that means that sex and yes are both the answer, and that there is no question. Confused? Deal.

I don't say this to everyone.. but you are dumb, stupid, and retarded all at the same time.

by mixschino 17y ago

LOL! it means that sex is the answer (to everything) it's never a question cause the only answer to "sex?" would be "yes"! dude, you made my day with your question!!

by beatingheartsbaby94 16y ago

what would nickelback do if they couldn't have sex anymore....no more inspiration for songs. on account of how much they write about sex, its about time they just made "sex" the name of one of their songs.

I find its more like were listening to the words of someone in temptation. they want it, they want it bad. and they believe that its the answer because they want it but at the same time they know they better not give in to temptation. The song doesn't really contradict it's self if you look at it that way:P Maybe he was tempted and made it into a song :O I love Nickleback there awesome.

It's about rape ("Sex is always the answer, it's never a question, Cause the answer's yes, oh the answer's (yes) Not just a suggestion, if you ask the question, Then it's always yes, yeah!").
