If your lips have gone numb,
Kiss a woman--
They will burn with heightened sense.
If your hands have gone mute,
Touch a woman--
They will discover eloquence.
If your heart has slept too long,
Love a woman--
'Til the dawn comes back around.
And if your eyes have gone dry,
Lose a woman--
Poor sweet baby, they will drown.
