"Women"
=====================
album _The Blue Mask_
(Lou Reed, 1982)
written by Lou Reed
=====================
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 the 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
oh, 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
