How is this song for her daughter, when the first verse contains the line "making love with you is all I want to do"?

In the Pulitzer prize-winning book "The Soul of a New Machine", Tracy Kidder writes about a microcode programmer having to deal with timing in nanoseconds. One day his desk was empty and there was a note on the monitor saying that he was going to live in a commune, and no longer deal with any duration shorter than a season.
Back in the '80s, when these conventions were labors of love, there were no charges for autographs, pictures, or talking to guests. They actually appreciated and enjoyed speaking with fans. I have had famous comic artists draw sketches for me (I wish I knew where the Beta Ray Bill sketch by Walt Simonson is!) and spent an hour or more speaking with the guest of honor.
I can't imagine spending substantial sums to stand in line just to have a few seconds with someone who has been on TV or in a movie.
It could be that this is a habit left over from pascal, where result is a reserved word, and is automatically made the return value of the function.
If it is in the context of a short function, I don't see that it's all that bad.
I think that fine documentary, "The Core", explained how to deal with this issue.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what the origin of these phrases is, or why people there take offense at them.
In the Sesotho language of Lesotho, if you say to someone, "I'm not your mother", it's a terrible insult.
Another insult of equal vehemence is, "you are like a cat that jumps across a ravine and scribbles up the other side".
People in the village I lived in told me that either of these could result in someone being killed.
Rocksmith is kind of a follow-up. Except you use real guitars, and you can only have two of them. Choose between lead, rhythm, and bass.
Try to find Rocksmith Remastered, though, and not the new subscription-based Rocksmith+.
Tracing the career of The Beatles in Beatles Rock Rand was absolutely amazing.
Doing a bit more research, it looks like the melody was created as a lullaby for her daughter. Obviously they repurposed it for this song, but kept in the mentions of Maya as a kind of Easter egg.
Also, shockingly, I found that Minnie died from breast cancer at the age of 31. What a loss of a superb talent.
