The Nature of Man

It is the nature of man to pursue And woman’s to be pursued Man must do the wooing And woman must be wooed It is the nature of man to conquer And woman to play it coy He must be the strong one She must act like his toy It is the nature of man to explore And woman’s to be sedate He must push the limits She must make him wait Ah...woman, you are to hold back And make him beg for more You must keep yourself aloof And just hint at what’s in store You must give a only a portion To keep him from discontent Must be sparing with your love To make his jealousy hell bent For it is the nature of man to chase And woman to lend to the chase But learn this from me, angel These notions are vile and base For if your man has such a nature And slights your consuming love Don’t waste on him your passion Escape on wings of a dove For love knows no rules or decorum It will do what it may please So do what you fancy best Be assertive when you tease For know that when the day‘s done And you are lying in bed alone You must be true to yourself Strip “Nature” down to the bone. Obey the voice of your heart, love Don’t fall prey to “nature’s” game Be a woman of these times And put these silly rules to shame!
