  album cover for Synchronistic Wanderings (Box Set), by Pat Benatar; click to check out reviews and clips on amazon

You were on a liquid diet;
You were sure you had to try it—
And you lost all your pounds.
The doctor's on vacation,
So you took the medication—
And wound up in lost and found.

Some people say
That oysters make you come on strong;
But I don't buy it—
I don't believe my diet turns me on.
Won't take no pills;
That's the last thing that I need to do.
I can't deny it—my aphrodisiac is you.

from "My Aphrodisiac Is You" by Katie Melua
. . . from the album Call off the Search
