I am not like Circe Who showed men no mercy Men are most important in my life Venus, Cleo, Psyche Are melodies in my key They knew how to live the high life Gallantry I find archaic Poetry I find prosaic Give me the man who's strong and silent Inarticulate but violent Sing me not a ballad Send me not a sonnet I require no ballad Rhyme and time are wasted on it Save your books and flowers They're not necessaries Oh the precious hours Lost in grim preliminaries Deck me not in jewels Sigh me not your sighs Duel me no duels And please don't vocalize Romance me no romances Treasure not my glove Spare me your advances Just, oh just, make love Spare me your advances Just, oh just, make love Save your books and flowers They're not necessaries Oh the precious hours Lost in grim preliminaries Deck me not in jewels Sigh me not your sighs Duel me no duels And please don't vocalize Romance me no romances Treasure not my glove Spare me your advances Just, oh just, make love Spare me your advances Just, oh just, make love
