  • Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
    Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
    Do you have a big intellectual capacity but know
    That it alone does not equate wisdom?
    Do you see everything as an illusion?
    But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
    Are you both masculine and feminine? politically aware?
    And don't believe in capital punishment?

    These are 21 things that I want in a lover
    Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer

    Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that
    Loving someone can actually feel like freedom?
    Are you funny?
    A la self-deprecating? Like adventure? And have many formed opinions?

    These are 21 things that I want in a lover
    Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
    I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
    These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover

    I'm in no hurry, I could wait forever
    I'm in no rush 'cause I like being solo
    There are no worries and certainly no pressure in the meantime
    I'll live like there's no tomorrow

    Are you uninhibited in bed? More than three times a week?
    Up for being experimental? are you athletic?
    Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother?
    Are you not addicted?

    These are 21 things that I want in a lover
    Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
    I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
    These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover

    Are you curious and communicative? Writer/s: Alanis Morissette
