Polyamory Song - David Rovics

I heard a woman talking

And to me what she said just made sense

She was lamenting the state of affairs

How some people can be so dense

She said she had three wonderful children

Two girls and their little brother

And nobody gave her problems for loving

Each child as much as the other

But they say you are bad

Or perhaps you are mad

Or at least you should stay undercover

Your mind must be bare

If you would dare

To think you can love more than one lover

I really dig the redwood forests

But the desert makes me want to sing

And those little Irish villages

When the churchbells ring

I like to busk in Boston

And hang out in the cafes in Berlin

Yes, I like lots of different places

And nobody tells me it’s a sin

But they say you are bad

Or perhaps you are mad

Or at least you should stay undercover

Your mind must be bare

If you would dare

To think you can love more than one lover

I like Italian espresso

But I also like French wine

And now and then that BC bud

Leaves me feeling oh so fine

I like to get a buzz sometimes

I like sobriety

Most people understand this

They also like variety

But they say you are bad

Or perhaps you are mad

Or at least you should stay undercover

Your mind must be bare

If you would dare

To think you can love more than one lover

Each one of the four seasons

Leaves me feeling good

Sitting in the shade in the summer

In the winter chopping wood

Sometimes I love cloudy days

But I also dig the sun

But I don’t think I’m crazy

For having so much fun

But they say you are bad

Or perhaps you are mad

Or at least you should stay undercover

Your mind must be bare

If you would dare

To think you can love more than one lover
