Lady Killer

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Girls are a thing that have always mystified me

One thing I'll never understand

There's more of those girls than us boys

But they never seem to be at hand

Well, I decided I was gonna be a real lady killer

I was gonna get more than my share

So I went out hunting and soon found out

It's safer hunting grizzly bear

So much for the lady killer

You never could

So much for the lady killer

You just ain't no good

Let me tell you 'bout number one

She sure was fun

I met her at a dance it was my first romance

I was a lucky son of a gun

We danced for a while then she flashed a smile

So I said let's take a walk outside

She said I don't think I'd better, here comes my fella

He had shoulders four feet wide

So much for the lady killer

You haven't got a clue

So much for the lady killer

The ladies are killing you

Well I was getting frustrated

Sweet sixteen and never been kissed

I got infuriated (down down)

Not even one girl on my telephone list

So I went to Amsterdam and wham bam

I was caught out in the rain

I ran into a restaurant

My legs were crossed with the pain

I asked a waitress where the mens room was

But she didn't understand

So I pointed to the place and she slapped my face

I ended up on the witness stand

So much for the lady killer

So juvenile

So much for the lady killer

You ain't got no style

Well I was getting frustrated

Sweet sixteen and never been kissed

I got infuriated (down down)

Not even one girl on my telephone list

So I went along to the doctor

I said, doctor is there something wrong with me?

He said, stick out your tongue, say aagh and now cough

Not as far as I can see

Oooh you're trying too hard, sit down and relax

I'll tell you what you gotta do

Thre ain't no sense in running after them

Well turn around and let them run after you

So much for the lady killer

It wasn't meant to be

So much for the lady killer

You'd better run off to sea

There you can be a maneater, maneater

Queen bee baby

Queen bee baby
