Tired of Sex is the lead song from Weezer's sophomore album, Pinkerton. It is one of the most abrasive songs in Weezer's catalog. Singer/songwriter Rivers Cuomo wrote it about how he would feel guilty about having sex with groupies. This song is known for its distorted guitars and one of the few songs you will hear Rivers screaming.
The song like the album is also based on Madame Butterfly, in the sense that the sailor, sleeps with girls everywhere he docks.
This song was originally intended for the abandoned Songs from the Black Hole. It was featured prominently in the 2007 movie On the Road with Judas [1]
[edit] Lyrics
I'm tired, so tired
I'm tired of having sex
I'm spread so thin
I don't know who I am
Monday night I'm makin'
Jen Tuesday night I'm makin' Lyn
Wednesday night I'm makin' Catherine
Oh, why can't I be makin' Love come true?
I'm beat, beet red
ashamed of what I said
I'm sorry, here I go
I know I'm a sinner
But I can't say no
Thursday night I'm makin' Denise
Friday night I'm makin' Sharise
Saturday night I'm makin' Louise
Oh, why can't I be makin' Love come true
tonight, I'm down on my knees
tonight I'm beggin' you please
tonight, tonight, please
Why, can't I be makin' love come true
