	Story Behind the Song This song is about wanting to get a letter from a girl...not necessarily a "love letter" but any kind of departure from a testosterone-soaked computer industry career. I wanted to include an instrument I'd bought at a thrift store for $2 called Hot Keyz; a keyboard shaped like a lightning bolt on a strap. The batteries to run it cost $7! That's the Devo-like sound. The chorus/bridge part was inspired by a Rolling Stones lyric: "I bet yo' Mama don't know you can scratch my back!" Lyrics Email from a Female (Verse 1:) Write down all your feelings, baby write down all your fears I need a girls perspective and it seems like its been years write down any secret dream just write down what you see but before you trash that email, baby send it on to me Email from a female (Verse 2:) Im tired of gettin email from members of my team inter-office memos just make me wanna scream I need a sweet diversion from a woman, not a man a cyber chick, without a dick whos got a word to send Email from a female (chorus 1:) Ooh, I bet your mama dont know you write like that Ooh, I bet she dont know you type like that Yeah! (Verse 3:) Make a snide comment, baby be sarcastic or morose in all caps or lower cases just mail me one o those be mature or juvenile be sexy or be pissed it doesnt make a difference cause it feels like Ive been kissed Email from a female (Chorus 2:) I bet your mama dont know you can send a fax I bet she dont know that you use syntax Yeah! (with just a push of a button, baby) (Verse 4:) Im lonely in the office this machine dont do the trick I socialize with these techno guys but their jargon makes me sick I crave a womans letter close by or outta town So type it up, send it out and spin my head around Email from a female (dont flame me now, come on, baby dont be like that, awww) (repeat chorus 1) (Repeat Verse 1) She got electric estrogen!
