Honey, you'll hurt yourself!

I can't play tennis,
My golf's a menace,
I just can't do the Australian crawl,
And I'm no better at volleyball,
Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love,
Ain't there anyone here for love?

I'm apathetic
And non-athletic,
Can't keep up in a marathon.
I need some shoulder to lean upon
And a couple of arms to hold me,
Ain't there anyone here for love?

I'm not in condition to wrestle,
I've never trained in a gym.
Show me a man who can nestle
And I'll pin a medal on him!

Need some chappie
To make me happy
And he don't have to be Hercules!
Don't anyone know about birds and bees,
Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love,
Ain't there anyone here for love?

(Doubles, anyone?)
 
(Court's free!)

(Two out of three, anyone?)

(Doesn't anyone wanna play?)

I like big muscles
And red corpuscles,
I like a beautiful hunk o' man!
But I'm no physical culture thing,
Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love,  
Ain't there anyone,
Ain't there anyone,
Ain't there anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, for love?
