Ladies’ Man
Back as a boy, I longed to be the fellow women love to see
And have them all consider me
A lady man
I dreamed of genie with the life
And merry moaning in the night
As I became with all my might
A ladies' man
Developed into a full of flower
This throbbing dust of manly power
Consume my every waking hour
This ladies' man
I felt the urge, that awful itch
It mounted to a fever pitch
I had me, girls, no matter which
A ladies' man
Oh, but the hottest fever clue
Those who won't face that back a fool
For like all men, time overrules
A ladies' man
What once was warm began to chill
As father time enforced his will
Until I wondered, "Am I still
A ladies' man?"
At first I tried to hide my loss, pretending I was still the boss
But girls who'd never come across
A ladies' man
But they move a too swift step
I needed patience more than pep
To keep alive my faded rep
A ladies' man
Don't get me wrong, now, I'm not dead
My shoulders hold a [?] good head
So joy has not completely fled
This ladies' man
But it can never be the same
The vigor's balance from the game
Far reminiscing, can you blame
A ladies' man?
I look back on the life I bled
What might my power got instead
Had I not shot so much in bed?
Ha
What trick might I have tried
Had I not preoccupied?
For then, who's ever satisfied?
Women I made frequently, each in her heart held secretly
That she was really making me
A ladies' man
A woman feels a man may guess that she can see beneath her dress
A trap with which she can possess
A ladies' man
She throw the bait, she shows the lure
There's no escaping, that's for sure
You're never really free when you're
A ladies' man
Each fellow follows his own star but take no appetite too far
That's sound advice in case you are
A ladies' man
What you call all this sour grapes devotes yourself to willing rapes
And never mind when all escapes
A ladies' man
All youth must feel betrayed by rage
I'm reading from a layer page
And you can't hear me at your stage
Therefore, my boy, enjoy your prime
Until your faithful date with time
When you can claim, "No longer I'm
A ladies' man"
A ladies' man
Hey, there's a beauty, you agree?
Got quite a body, hasn't she?
Well, sock it to her once for me
Yeah
A ladie's man
