Valjeang, a somewhat belated response to your comments.
I am a (straight} male probably only a few short years older than yourself and I have loved Kiki Dee's version of Amoureuse (the only one I know) since it first came out in 1973. As a bit of a late starter with the opposite sex, I could relate to virtually every line - I don't need to read the words, I've known them for 45 years.
The song was written at a time when for probably most women - and more than a few men - losing your virginity was still a major life event and - at least for a few weeks after - you felt so much more confident and sure yourself and that the world really was your oyster. Sadly that is somewhat less true today.
Amoureuse - lyrically and musically - is a beautiful song that deserved to get higher than 13 in the charts and I'm disappointed that (before mine) there are only two comments - a sign of the times perhaps. If you've ever wondered how the song came into existence, you might like to look it up on Wikipedia.
