21 Things I Want in a Lover - Alanis Morissette

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 loving someone can actually feel like freedom?

Are you funny á la 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
