Time To Delight

I loved a woman but I ended up dating her brother
fell for a woman who was out and strong
and then another
this is not a disease
and it’s nothing to do with my mother
some women turn me on

I loved a man who was not in love
with the sound of his own voice
fled from a different man
who tried to take away my choice
lived to love another day
and to rejoice
that some men turn me on

I love a woman, I would never try
to possess her
I love a woman, never need to lie
to impress her
loves to laugh, knows how to cry
relishes pleasure
this woman turns me on

I’m taking the time to delight
in the way that I feel
trying to please everyone
finally lost its appeal
 
I loved a woman but I ended up dating her brother
fell for a woman who was out and strong
and then another then another then another
this is not a disease
and it’s nothing to do with my mother

some women turn me on
some people turn me on
this woman turns me on

I’m taking the time to delight
in the way that I feel
