The Other Half Of The Sky (That's What John Said)
Tonight a man is thinking about you
he is wondering where you are
looking up to the constellations
trying to imagine the light in your eyes
But also tonight another man is thinking about you
a conquest if he can disrobe your instincts to flee
for even with the warning signs
his charm appeals to the foot loose and fancy girl you never lost
Both are made of the same chemical makeups
but other factors now tell you who they are
each one with a fondness for that shared heat
but the aftermath steers down different roads
Short of the most brutal of encounters
be reminded you have a choice
never giving either the power to dictate your self worth
for abuse can be subtle and played totally in the mind
You may never truly have someone figured out
partners can grow apart at any age
maintain warrior princess your core for yourself
the sole uniqueness always within can never fade
