A Hundred Lovers

My lover he calls out to me across the sea He knows that I won't come to him He does this quite deliberately We both agreed I would not get too close to him But this is what I love the most The push, the pull, the play I have a hundred lovers and none of them stay There is a man who comforts me from time to time I will admit I call for him He tells me that I'm beautiful and that by and by Someday I will fall for him But I fall in and out of love Like a wave I have a hundred lovers and none of them stay Some people speak of one great love The stars above have certainly aligned for them But what a gift it is to love and love again A hundred different kinds of men I learned how to hold and to let go And to be okay 'Cause I have a hundred lovers and none of them stay I have a hundred lovers and none of them stay
