Woman

If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman

If you don’t you are not a man

If you praise her, she thinks you are lying

If you don’t, you are good for nothing

If you agree to all her likes, she is abusing

If you don’t, you are not understanding

If you make romance, you are “an experienced” man

If you don’t, you are half a man[…]

If you stare at others, she accuses you of flirting

If she if stared by others, she says that they are just admiring

If you talk, she wants you to listen

If you listen, she wants you to talk

Oh, God! You created the creature called “WOMAN”

So simple, yet so complex

So weak, yet so powerful

So confusing, yet so desirable

“O LORD, tell me what to do. AMEN”

女人

親她，不夠紳士；

不親，不是男人。

讚美她，油腔滑調；

不讚美，一無是處。

同意她，沒在認真聽；

不同意她，不夠了解她。

耍浪漫，情場高手不夠專情；

不浪漫，對牛彈琴不夠有情調。

看別的女生，標準花心男；

別人看她，那只是欣賞。

你講，她希望你聆聽；

你聽，她希望你回應。

喔，上天！你怎麼會創造出「女人」這種生物？

這麼簡單，又複雜；

這麼脆弱，又堅韌；

這麼令人困惑，又讓人憐惜；

上帝呀！告訴我到底該怎麼做吧！阿們！
