Píseň: 21 Things I Want in a Lover

Interpret:
Alanis Morissette
Album:
Under Rug Swept
Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
 Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
 Do you have a big intellectual capacity but know
 that it alone does not equate to wisdom?
 Do you see everything as an illusion
 but enjoy it even though you are not of it?
 Are you both masculine and feminine, politically aware, and don’t believe in capital punishment?


These are 21 things that I want in a lover
 Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer


Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that
 toving someone can actually feel like freedom? Are you funny and self-deprecating, like adventure, and have many formed opinions?


These are 21 things that I want in a lover
 Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
 I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
 These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover


I’m in no hurry; I could wait forever
 I’m in no rush cause I like being solo
 There are no worries and certainly no pressure In the meantime I’ll live like there’s no tomorrow


Are you uninhibited in bed, more than three times a week, up for being experimental?
 Are you athletic?
 Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother?
 Are you not addicted?


These are 21 things that I want in a lover
 Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
 I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
 These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover
