Women

Lou Reed · The Blue Mask [1982]

I love women, I think they're great

they're a solace to the world in a terrible state

They're a blessing to the eyes, a balm to soul

what a nightmare to have no women in the world



I love women

I love women

I love women

we all love women



I used to look at women in the magazines

I know that it was sexist, but I was in my teens

I was very bitter, all my sex was on the sly

I couldn't keep my hands off women, and I won't till I die



I love women

ah, I love women

we love women

we all love women



A woman's love can lift you up, and women can inspire

I feel like buying flowers and hiring a celestial choir

A choir of castratis to serenade my love

they'd sing a little Bach for us and then we'd make love



I love women

I love women

We all love women

we love women
