Oscar Brown, Jr. - Ladiesman by Oscar Brown, Jr. lyrics

Back as a boy I longed to be The fellow women loved to see And have them all consider me A "Ladiesman" I dreamed of Jeannie with delight And Mary moanin' in the night As I became with all my might A "Ladiesman" Developed into a fuller flower This throbbing thrust of manly power Consumed my every waking hour A "Ladiesman" I felt the urge, that awful itch It mounted to a fever pitch I had me girls no matter which A "Ladiesman" Ah, but the hottest fever cools Those who don't face that fact are fools For like all men time overrules A "Ladiesman" What once was warm began to chill As father time enforced his will Until I wondered "am I still "A Ladiesman?" At first I tried to hide my loss Pretending I was still the boss With girls who'd never come across A "Ladiesman" But they moved with too swift a step I needed patience more than pep To keep alive my fading rep A "Ladiesman" Don't get me wrong now, I not dead My shoulders hold a damn good head So joy has not completely fled A "Ladiesman" But it can never be the same The vigor's vanished from my game For reminiscing, can you blame A "Ladiesman"? I look back at the life I've led What would my powers have got, instead Had I not shot so much in bed A "Ladiesman"? What tricky trade might I have tried Had I not laid pre-occupied But then whose ever satisfied A "Ladiesman"? The women I laid, frequently Each in her heart held secretly That she was really making me A "Ladiesman" A woman feels, a man may guess That she conceals beneath her dress A trap in which she can possess A "Ladiesman" 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 "Ladiesman" Each fellow follows his own star But take no appetite too far That's sound advice, in case you are A "Ladiesman" But you call all this sour grapes Devote yourself to willing rapes And never mind what all escapes A "Ladiesman" Oh, you must feel betrayed by age I'm reading from a later page You can't hear me at your stage A "Ladiesman" Therefore, my boy, enjoy your prime Until your fateful date with time When no longer can you claim, "Hey I'm A Ladiesman" Hey, there's a beauty, you agree? Has quite a body, hasn't she? Well, sock it to her once for me! A "Ladiesman" --- .
