Tom Rapp (of Pearls Before Swine) also wrote and recorded an answer song called "Love/Sex":

I want to meet somebody, That I can talk to. I want to meet somebody, I can make love with, not to. Bodies on bodies Like sacks upon shelves. People are using each other, To make love to themselves.

And we all use our bodies As a place to hide And meet all the other bodies With people hiding inside. If all that is touching, Is just what you wear, I guess that not sharing, Is the only thing we share, Somewhere.

Somewhere we lost real love, Somewhere along the line. They say get it while you can, Get it while you can, But don't get left behind. And if you don't love The one that you're with Why don't you just Wait for the one that you love? And she'll love you, too.

Today I met somebody That I can talk to. Today I met somebody I can make love with, not to. She says love will get you Through times of no sex Better than sex will get you Through times of no love. We wrote that on the wall, We wrote that on the wall, We wrote that on the wall, And why don't you Write that on your wall, too.
