“Sex, Alcohol and Sugar” by Don Matthews.

I seem to spend my life
In giving up on things
Things I like, look forward to
Ring-a-ding-a-ding

I’m told such things are bad for me
That I should wave goodbye
To smoking, sugar, alcohol
Give up, lie back, and sigh

Funny? But there’s just one thing
I don’t give up (one thing)
That’s sex, it just gives up on me
Ring-a-ding-a-ding

I might know what you mean. That nagging untapped ability waiting to be tapped.
