Ladies’ Man

Lyrics

Back as a boy, I longed to be The fellow women love to see And have them all consider me A ladies' man I dreamed of Jeannie with the light And merry moaning in the night As I became with all my might A ladies' man Developed into a fuller flower This throbbing bust 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 cooled Those who won't face that fact 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 moved at too swift a step I needed patience more than pep To keep alive my fading rep A ladies' man Don't get me wrong, now, I'm not dead My shoulders hold damn good head So joy has not completely fled This ladies' man But it can never be the same The vigor's vanished from the game For reminiscing, can you blame A ladies' man? I look back on the life I've led What might my power got instead Had I not shot so much in bed? Ha What trick might I have tried Had I not laid 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 conceals beneath her dress A trap with which she can possess A ladies' man She throws 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 But you call all this sour grapes Devote yourself to willing rapes And never mind when all escapes A ladies' man All youth must feel betrayed by age I'm reading from a later 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 ladies' man [Instrumental]
