[Verse 1] Ladies don't play guitar Ladies don't get down down to the sound of it Maybe we can play pretend Baby I can go down deep just to be what you're needing [Verse 2] Ladies just need your love Don't you know we are all caught up in it Baby I've been listening I can be the archetype of whatever you're feeling What you're feeling [Chorus] Maybe then I can try and give my love again We pretend I can be the one that you've been dreaming [Verse 3] Tell me what can I give If all my work is oblique and abstracted Try to build a legacy That will not complicate the future of your own progeny [Chorus] Maybe then I can try and give my love again We pretend I can be the one that you've been dreaming [Bridge] You will but I won't You will but I won't You will but I won't You will but I won't [Chorus] Maybe then I can try and give my love again We pretend I can be the one that you've been dreaming (Oh, down down to the sound of it) In the end I decide how much my love can bend (Oh, down down to the sound of it) We pretend I can be the one that you've been dreaming
