Lyrics

Ladies' Man

Now let's sit down too 'cause I'm a ladies man

I've got my work cut out, I'm doing what I can

So hold me, touch me, thrill me, don't ever let me go

Don't ask me to explain it 'cause you don't wanna know

Oh, your hair is beautiful tonight

Oh, and I know the feeling's right

Just for the surfaces I feel

I just woke up, so come on and hold me

Come on and hold me, hold me, hold me, yeah yeah yeah

I know a place where we can go and wear just what we want

I don't wanna be me, I get so tired of (?)

So don't ask any questions and I won't tell no lies

Stop moving like some housewife and give yourself tonight

Oh, your hair is beautiful tonight

Oh, and I know the feeling's right

Just for the surfaces I feel

I just woke up, so come on and hold me

Come on and hold me, hold me, hold me, yeah yeah yeah
