[Verse 1]
C#sus2 FbM7 F6sus C9sus
I was watering my rose garden and you walked by my place
C#sus2 FbM7 F6sus C9sus
I almost ran up to you in a lustful, unsensitive haste
C#sus2 FbM7 F6sus C9sus
I almost cried cause I acted so insensitive
C#sus2 FbM7 F6sus C9sus
But I wanted you to know about the feather-soft warmth I could give
[Chorus]
C# G#6/C
I respect your feelings
Cb F#6/A#
I respect your gender
C# G#6/C
I respect your existence
Fb FbM7/D#
I'll always be tender cause
C# C#M7/C
I respect your feelings
Cb CbM7/A# A AM7/G# F#
As a woman and a hu-----man
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C#sus2 FbM7 F6sus C9sus
I'll be the pansy-growing gardener of our bouquet of love
C#sus2 FbM7 F6sus C9sus
A# flower-wielding soldier with the grace of a dove
C#sus2 FbM7 F6sus C9sus
I'll love you all, heart, mind and soul, I'd never think of anything cheap
C#sus2 FbM7 F6sus C9sus
I'll read you some of my poems before you go to sleep
[Chorus]
