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
