Why do you love him?
The man by your side?
I see that you watch him
With eyes full of pride.
It’s just that he loves me
With all of his heart.
He never fears troubles,
He’s really street-smart.
So what can you tell me
About him and his deeds?
Has he ever helped people
Took care of their needs?
When life was a struggle
He never ran away.
He stayed by my side then
And brightened my day.
What about his bad temper?
Is he grumpy some time?
Does he forget your birthday
Doesn’t drop you a line?
It’s good that you ask this.
Of course he’s not a saint
When he starts screaming
I’m going to faint.
But how can you bear this?
I can’t understand.
How can you walk
With this man hand in hand?
Because he’s my anchor
Whatever will be
Lying safe in his arms
I forever feel free.
I think I should stop now
Asking questions that show
How jealous I am
About the man you know.
Don’t worry, my friend,
It’s never too late.
Meeting a man like Starsky
Was the best twist of fate.
