Listen to Adele’s “A million years ago”
“Women”
I’ve been with women
Of all colors
Of various ages
Of many loves
With some I even
Stayed a while
To others I only
Gave part of myself
I’ve been with women
Of the sassy kind
Of the shy kind
Of the experienced kind
Married affectionate
Single happy
I’ve been with maidens
And even professionals
Fragile women
Confused women
From war and peace
And none of them
Made me as happy
As you make me
I looked for happiness
In all the women
But I didn’t find it
And I ended up lonely
It started well
But everything had an end
You are the sun of my life
My desire
You are not a lie
You are truth
You’re everything that one day
I dreamed for myself.
