Abstinence

I don’t want to make love

To you, my angel, my dove

‘Cause you’re a special virgin

No love, no sex, no gin

For you tonight ever

‘Cause you’re my flower

I simply want to hold your hand

‘Cause you’re my dear friend

If I invite you in my heaven

You’ll no longer be a virgin

You and I are soul mates

If we do it, my God will have a fit

You and I are teammates

We can laugh, kiss and date

But we can’t make love

I love being with you my dove

And that’s it

And that’s it

No love, no smoking, and no gin

I want you to remain

Sexy, hot and beautiful

For me, that’s wonderful

That’s great and different

That’s charming and sufficient.
