Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 wisdom?
[Verse 2]
Do ya 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 punishments?
[Verse 3]
These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs
But qualities that I prefer
[Verse 4]
Do you derive joy
From diving in and seeing that
Loving someone can actually feel like freedom?
Are you funny?
A la self-deprecating? Like adventure?
And have many formed opinions?
[Verse 5]
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
And these are 21 things
I choose to choose in a lover
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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?
[Verse 8]
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
And these are 21 things
I choose to choose in a lover
[Verse 9]
Are you curious and communicative?
