Show me a virgin –
In a maternity ward;
Show me sunrise,
That comes from the west.
And show me a river –
That never flows;
Show me a woman –
Who will never fall in love.
Show me a virgin –
In a maternity ward;
Show me sunrise,
That comes from the west.
Show me a river –
That never flows;
Show me a woman,
Who will never fall in love.
You may find an answer –
In a question;
A whole lot of constringent
Situation,
A little bit of giving,
A little bit of taking,
You know, two wrongs –
Don’t make a right.
Show a virgin –
In a maternity ward;
Show me sunrise,
That comes from the west.
And show me a river –
That never flows;
Show me a woman –
Who will never fall in love.
Show a virgin –
In a maternity ward;
Show me sunrise,
That comes from the west.
Show me a river –

You may find an answer –
In a question.
A whole lot of constringent –
Situation,
A little bit of giving,
A little bit of taking,
You know two wrongs –
Don’t make a right.
Now, show a virgin (show me) –
In a maternity ward;
Show me sunrise –
That comes from the west.
Show me a river (show me) –
That never flows;
Show me a woman –
Who will never fall in love.
Show a virgin (show me) –
In a maternity ward;
Show me sunrise –
That comes from the west.
And show a river (show me) –
That never flows;
Show me a woman –
Who will never fall in love…
