Analysis of Show Me Your Triangle



No cotton,no silk, or lace need there be,
When you show that perfect V to me...

Be it Brown or red
Black or blonde,
The wispiest slice,
Always turns me right on...

No matter gals,
Of what yours you might think,
No matter what color yours is,
They all go great with pink
