I love women
I think they're great
They are a solace to a world in a terrible state
They're a blessing to the eyes
A balm to the soul
What a nightmare to have no women in the world

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 in the sly
I couldn't keep my hands off women
And I won't till I die

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 serenate my love
They'd sing a little Back for us and then we'd make love

I love women
We all love women
WE LOVE WOMEN
