What are the lyrics to the song 'A Ladies' Man' by Oscar Brown Jr?

Answer 1

Back as a boy, I longed to be the fellow women loved to see

and have em all consider me

a laidies man

i dreamed of jeannie with delight

and Mary moanin in the night

as i became with all my might

a laidies man

developing into a fuller flower

this throbbing, thrusting manly power

consumed my every waking hour

a laidies man

i felt the urge! that awful itch!

it mounted to a fever pitch!

I had girls, no matter which!

a laidies man

ahh, but the hottest fever cools,

those who don't face that fact are fools

for in all men time overules

a laidies man

what once was warm began to chill

as father time enforced his will

until i wondered am i still

a laidies man

at first i tried to hide my loss

with girls who'd never come across

a laidies man

but they moved with too quick a step

i needed patience more than pep

to keep alive my fading rep

a laidies man

oh don't get me wrong, I'm not dead

my shoulders hold a dam good head

so joy has not completely fled

a laidies man

but, it can never be the same

the vigor's vanished from my game

for reminiscing can you blame

a laidies man

i look back at the life I've led

what might my powers have got instead

had i not shot so much in bed

a laidies man

what tricky trade might i have tried

had i not lain pre-occupied

but then, who's ever satisfied

a laidies man

the women i made, frequently

each in her heart held (secretly)

that she was really making me

a laidies man

a woman feels (a man may guess)

that she conceals beneath her dress

a trap, with which she can possess

a laidies man

she shows the bait

she throws the lure

there's no escaping, that's for sure

you're never really free when you're

a laidies man

each fellow follows his own star

but take no appetite too far

that's sound advice in case you are

a laidies man

but, you call all this sour grapes

devote yourself to willing rapes

and never mind what all escapes

a laidies man

all youth must feel betrayed by age

I'm reading from a later page

and you cant hear me at your stage

a laidies man

therefore my boy enjoy your prime

until that fateful date and time

when you can claim no longer I'm

a laidies man

hey, there's a beauty, don't you agree?

got quite a body, hasn't she?

well, sock it to her once for me,

laidies man

ha ha ha

a laidies man
