Sleater Kinney - Ballad Of A Ladyman Lyrics

eye cream and thigh cream, how 'bout a get
high cream?
nothing i do smoothes 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 you apart?
are we breaking on guitars?

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 og
getting an earful
but i gotta rock!
i'd rather be a ladyman

how many times will
you decide?
how many lives will
you define?
how much control
should we give up of our
lives?
(you sit at home with an
alibi
in case they call you and ask
you why all you do is go "ooh
ahh ooh",
you're out of control but
saying
"ooh ahh ooh")
