I’ve F#mheard form follows function
And I Dmaj7think that much is true

What the Dmaj7female form will C#7do
Its F#mlines and shapes are everywhere
As Dmaj7if they follow me
ReF#mpeating my own longing in C#7everything I F#msee

Lead us tF#mo the shore
That only women Dmaj7hold the promise C#7of
F#mMen would give them money
And Dmaj7men would give them gold
And Ashower them with promises
Of C#7luxury untold
And F#mmake their vessels of creation
The Dmaj7temples of our souls

For F#mI would give her money
And Dmaj7I would give her jewels
And Alead her to the palace my iC#7magination rules
And F#mfashion from her nakedness
The Dmaj7innocence that’s gone
F#mGone as the time she’s given the C#7suffering of F#mfools
