The Beauty’s Gone (a mature schlager)*
The beauty’s gone,
The clothes kept on,
The bellybutton housed discreetly.
Is the loving any less?
Heat is there.
The beat is there.
Why make love exclusive?
Pop and rock’s “I want you baby”
Is a baby when compared
To dancing gracefully in bed.
No false gyrating ego-ride
To flaunt a body full of pride.
The beauty may be lined and wan,
But love and sex live on.
