Lyrics for Song: 21 Things I Want in a Lover
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Series [2012]
Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
Do you have a big intellectual capacity
But know that it alone does not equate wisdom?
Do you see everything as an illusion
But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
Are you both masculine and feminine?
Politically aware and don't believe in capital punishment?
These are twenty one things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs, but qualities that I prefer
Do you derive joy from diving in
And seeing that loving someone can actually feel like freedom?
Are you funny? A la self-deprecating?
Like adventure and have many formed opinions?
These are twenty one things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs, but qualities that I prefer
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
These are twenty one things I choose to choose in a lover
I'm in no hurry; I could wait forever
I'm in no rush 'cause I like being solo
There are no worries and certainly no pressure
In the meantime I'll live like there's no tomorrow
Are you uninhibited in bed?
More than three times a week?
Up for being experimental?
Are you athletic?
Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother?
Are you not addicted?
These are twenty one things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs, but qualities that I prefer
(Are you uninhibited in bed?
More than three times a week?
Up for being experimental?)
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
These are twenty one things I choose to choose in a lover
(Are you athletic?
Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother?
Are you not addicted?)
...Are you curious and communicative?
