Same Old Song and Dance

Lyrics

[Intro] I've never had much luck regarding ladies Don't understand them I must confess The Judys, Janes, Maryannes and Sadies Add up to trouble in a dress [Verse 1] I start out optimistic In matters of romance But when I hear those violins Then love's big game begins The same old song The same old dance A dame will try and change you A dame will bend your ear A dame will turn you upside-down Then run you out of town You get the message loud and clear [Chorus] She needs a sentimental, gentle, sensitive guy Just look at her [?] Someone who's caring, sharing, daring, handsome and strong Who will admit that he's wrong And guys like us don't stand a chance It's the same old song and dance [Verse 2] A dame will ask you questions And then it's bombs away Like, who's that girl you're looking at? Does this make me look fat? You lose no matter what you say A dame will drive you batty As crazy as a loon The music in your heart goes 'round That old familiar sound Strike up the band and start the tune [Chorus] She needs a sentimental, gentle, sensitive beat To knock her right off her feet Someone who's caring, sharing, daring, somebody who'll Become her personal fool And guys like us don't stand a chance With that same old song and dance [Interlude] Can't live with 'em Or live without 'em The thing about 'em is this Don't forget every Mrs. once was a Ms [?] [?] And sexy Suzies from France All teach that same old song and dance [Verse 3] Why do I keep on falling? Well, don't you think it's strange? Why don't I walk right out that door? And not come back for more? That song and dance ain't gonna change [Chorus] She needs the sentimental, gentle, sensitive kind Somebody she'll never find She want's a lovey, dovey, conversationalist Guy doesn't exist Still I would jump at one more chance At that same old song and dance [Outro] Hey, ba-ba-boo Smell that in a funeral Hello romance Same song, same dance
