AxCx - I respect your feelings as a woman and a friend lyrics

I was watering my rose garden and you walked by my place I almost ran up to you in a lustful, unsensitive haste I almost cried cause I acted so insensitive But I wanted you to know about the feather-soft warmth I could give I respect your feelings I respect your gender I respect your existence I'll always be tender Cause I respect your feelings As a woman and a human I'll be the pansy-growing gardener of our bouquet of love A flower-wielding soldier with the grace of a dove I'll love you all, heart, mind and soul, I'd never think of anything cheap I'll read you some of my poems before you go to sleep I respect your feelings I respect your gender I respect your existence I'll always be tender Cause I respect your feelings As a woman and a human
