Sappho ( /ˈsæfoʊ/; Attic Greek Σαπφώ [sapːʰɔː], Aeolic Greek Ψάπφω [psapːʰɔː]) was an Ancient Greek poet, born on the island of Lesbos. Later Greeks included her in the list of nine lyric poets. Her birth was sometime between 630 and 612 BC, and it is said that she died around 570 BC, but little is known for certain about her life. The bulk of her poetry, which was well-known and greatly admired throughout antiquity, has been lost, but her immense reputation has endured through surviving fragments.
The only contemporary source for Sappho's life is her own poetry, and scholars are skeptical of reading it biographically. Later biographical accounts are also unreliable.
Strabo indicates that Sappho was the contemporary of Alcaeus of Mytilene (born ca. 620 BC) and Pittacus (ca. 645 - 570 BC), and according to Athenaeus, she was the contemporary of Alyattes of Lydia (ca. 610 - 560 BC). The Suda, a 10th century Byzantine encyclopædia, dates her to the 42nd Olympiad (612/608 BC), meaning either that she was born then or that this was her floruit. The versions of Eusebius state that she was famous by the first or second year of the 45th or 46th Olympiad (between 600 and 594 BC). Taken together, these references make it likely that she was born ca. 620 BC, or a little earlier.

Met this girl last night,
She's a real life dancer
The kind that will change your life
She just stepped right up and sat down,
Took a brand new tiara and laying it on the ground
She said,
Are you healthy?
Do my pheromones make you happy?
How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky,
And it's all a lie,
For Nothing
How do you tell a son that his daddy left his mum when she fell in love with a girl like you?
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Took a ride in her car,
She had back seat speakers
She took me to her favourite bar.
She kicked off her heels again,
Took a swing at the lampshade
And whispered softly in my ear,
Are you healthy?
Do my pheromones make you happy?
How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky,
And it's all a lie,
For nothing
How do you tell a son that his daddy left his mum when she fell in love with a girl like you?
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Are you healthy?
Do my pheromones make you happy?
How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky,
And it's all a lie,
For nothing
How do you tell a son that his daddy left his mum when she fell in love with a girl like you?
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
