The Ballad of a Ladyman

The Ballad of a Ladyman - Sleater-Kinney

Eye cream and thigh cream

How 'bout a get high cream

Nothing I do smoothed out the feelings

Of being used

The ballad of a ladyman

Freak that I am

Live in japan

Let's rock with the tough girls

In this part of the world

Take a photograph

Portrait of a ladyman

Are we holding on to our pride a bit too long

Are we breaking on guitars

Are we breaking you apart

They say I've gone too far

With the image I've got and

They know I'd make a mint

With new plastic skin

And a hit on the radio

Oh temptations of a ladyman

I could be demure like

Girls who are soft for

Boys who are fearful of

Getting an earful

But I gotta rock

I'd rather be a ladyman

Are we holding on to our pride a bit too long

Are we breaking on guitars

Are we breaking you apart

How many times will you decide

How many lives will you define

How much control should we give up of our lives

Are we holding on to our pride a bit too long

Are we breaking on guitars

Are we breaking you apart

How many times will you decide

How many lives will you define

How much control should we give up of our lives
