give me a lover that will warm my heart not my bed
she doesn’t want to be led
and a follower
she won’t need me to be
side by side we will walk
heart to heart we will talk
soul to soul making love
this is the lover I dream of
knows when to be strong,
not afraid to show her vulnerability
will even weep with me
this lover will smile while looking into my eyes
will kiss me gently not always reaching for my thighs
she’ll treasure what is inside my mind not how I look
will remember just what it took to get me and will always do it to keep me
this lover knows I’m not looking for a cheap thrill
not looking for her mansion sitting on a hill
knows that all I need is her love that’s true
and for my love anything she will do
she’ll tell me he loves me at least once a day
fearing that if she doesn’t my desire will fade
she’ll care about the little things
like how important a hug can be
she’ll let me know that she respects me
she’ll take the time to remind me just how special I am
and how much she needs me
if this is the kind of lover that you are
then right now I’m wishing on a star
to guide you my way
