LGBT (or GLBT and Sexual and Gender Minorities) is an initialism that collectively refers to the "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender" community. In use since the 1990s, the term "LGBT" is an adaptation of the initialism "LGB", which itself started replacing the phrase "gay community" beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s, which many within the community in question felt did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred. The initialism has become mainstream as a self-designation and has been adopted by the majority "sexuality and gender identity-based" community centers and media in the United States and some other English-speaking countries.
The term LGBT is intended to emphasize a diversity of "sexuality and gender identity-based cultures" and is sometimes used to refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or cisgender instead of exclusively to people who are homosexual, bisexual, or transgender. To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer and are questioning their sexual identity as "LGBTQ", recorded since 1996.
I kiss the ground on which you walk
I kiss the lips through which you talk
I kiss the city of New York
Where I first met you
You're my doll and don't forget it
'Cause I'm the guy who will regret it
I love you more than when I said it
When I first met you
I love the way you talk, you walk
You smile, your style
Like now, like wow-wipeout, no doubt
But I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you
You'll never be a beauty queen
Won't feature in no magazine
But you're the best that's ever been
I'm glad that I met you
Take every day now as it comes
You take the cake, I'll keep the crumbs
I only hear the sound of drums in my heart
That I get you
I love the way you walk, you talk, you smile
Your style, your dress, your caress
Well, yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm impressed
And I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you
I love the way you talk, you walk
You smile, your style
Like now, like wow-wipeout, no doubt
But I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you
. . . and then the river ends, ya leave the boat
& find you're walkin' . . the boat is floating
in your mind, although these words are talking
. . . this seems a very good place to sit & rest
a while before the chorus . . .
oh! & there's a feeling comin' to ya
oh! & then you're smilin' like a buddha
. . . the music draws you up a valley, & across
a mountain . . . ya gather round it like yer
gathering around a fountain . . . & when the
music is right, ya feel the spirit lockin' . . .
oh! & there's a feelin' runnin' through ya
oh! & yer smilin' like a buddha
there is magic in the air & it can take ya higher
ya take a breath, ya breathe it in & then ya catch a flier
when ya wake up on the floor ya see a golden morning
oh! from your sandal to your stupa
oh! & yer smilin' like a buddha
oh, while ya have the eyes
to look around
oh, while ya have the eyes
to carry into town
take the time to look
take the time to look . . . around
oh, while ya have the ears
to hear the sounds
oh, while ya have the ears
. . just hangin' 'round
take the time to hear
take the time to hear . . the sounds
& then yer seein' in a light ya didn't know was glowin'
& yer walkin' in a stream ya didn't know was flowin'
every beat of your heart open, love is formin'
oh! & there's a feelin' runnin' through ya
oh! & then yer smilin' like a buddha
oh! & there's a feelin' comin' to ya
Under the sky of leaf broken sun
Here we lie in sugared skin
The water unwinds the trees bend as one
Breath the air, submerge again
Our limbs intertwined stretch like roots to the lake bed
Sky and water here are wed
I kiss the ground on which you walk,
I kiss the lips through which you talk,
I kiss the city of New York where I first met you
You're my doll and don't forget it
'Cos I'm the guy who will regret it
I love you more than when I said it when I first met you
I love the way you talk, you walk, you smile, your style,
Like now, Like, wow-wipeout! No doubt
I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you
You'll never be a beauty queen
Won't feature in no magazine
But you're the best that's ever been
I'm glad that I met you
Take every day now as it comes,
You take the cake I'll keep the crumbs
I only hear the sound of drums in my heart
(that means that I get you)
I love the way you walk, you talk, you smile, your style,
Your dress, your caress,
Well, yes, yes, yes I am impressed
