The Ways of Love

The way to a man's heart is through his belly
That's how the old saying goes
The way to a woman's heart is through love 
She feels it down to her toes

We've all been programmed to live this way
This isn't against the ways of men
If love didn't continue as in olden times past
The world would most likely end

We all must follow the established patterns
Been in place since man first appeared
To try to invent some new rules at this stage
Is fraught with headaches and tears

So love away as you've always been doing
Be happy that you're able to feel
This unbridled joy that's known only to man
Enjoy life and love with much zeal
