Two dozen other dirty lovers
Must be a sucker for it
Cry, Cry, but I don\'t need my mother
Just Hold My hand while I come
To a decision on it
Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don\'t run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You hit the deck, you get found out
Save it for later
Don\'t run away and let me down
You let me down
Black air and seven seas and rotten through
But what can you do?
I don\'t know how I\'m meant to act with you lot
Sometimes I don\'t try
I just now, now, now, now ,now .....
Two dozen other stupid reasons
Why we should suffer for this
Don\'t bother trying to explain them
Just hold my hand while I come
To a decision on it
Must be a sucker for it
Cry, Cry, but I don\'t need my mother
Just Hold My hand while I come
To a decision on it
Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don\'t run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You hit the deck, you get found out
Save it for later
Don\'t run away and let me down
You let me down
Black air and seven seas and rotten through
But what can you do?
I don\'t know how I\'m meant to act with you lot
Sometimes I don\'t try
I just now, now, now, now ,now .....
Two dozen other stupid reasons
Why we should suffer for this
Don\'t bother trying to explain them
Just hold my hand while I come
To a decision on it

Listeners often find salacious subtexts in songs when in fact, none exist. In this case, however, it does. Wakeling explains: "The actual hook line itself was just a dirty joke, I just thought it was hilarious that you could get in a song: 'save it – comma – for later – F-E-double L-A-T-O-R.' So I thought it'd be really neat to get that in a song and everybody would be singing it. I didn't know it was going to be a joke that lasted for 30 years."

"Two dozen other dirty lovers"
That one's pretty self explanitory
"Just Hold My hand while I come"
Note the pause after come (cum). Looks like a double entendre to me.
"Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground"
Too much sex and your legs are going to eventually give out
