girl
what you do is your business
who you love or who you want to love
does not set the sun in my life
there are enough miracles for everyone
girl
i wish you happiness
like a nice home in the country
good playgrounds & schools for the kids
i hope they even learn a second language
& translate neruda from english back to spanish
girl
when that man comes along
& tells you that you are like poetry
that in your eyes are all the things he ever imagined
ever wanted
ever needed
never/never mind what you're gonna wear
just dance with him into forever
girl
don't let no one tell you it ain't time
especially when the fever you have
calls your man doctor & the medicine
is so good you know you can't be well without it
girl
take it & keep it with you
always
