Your Man

Your Man?

What do I want from my man?
Integrity is high on the list
With lots of compassion too
And knowledge of how to kiss

You want him to care what you think
And listen to what you say
Give consideration to the fact
To sometimes give you your way

You don’t want funny jokes or jest
About weight or the dreaded age
You want him to always remember
His marriage is not a cage

It is a place to express himself
And the love you have to share
And to make sweet romantic love
To the partner he’s sworn to care

All these things are nice to have
In the man you love so much
But remember he wants the same
So be gentle with your touch.

Let him know you love him
Throw in passion and desire
Remember always and forever
Love for him feeds the fire

So give as good as you get
It is a fifty-fifty deal
You love him and he loves you
And you’ll have a love that’s for real
