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 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 the new plastic skin and a hit on the radio Temptations of a ladyman I could be demure like Girls who are soft for Boys who are fearful of Getting an earful, but I've 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 (You sit at home with an alibi) How many lives will you define (In case they call and ask you why all you do is go) How much control should we give up of our lives (You're out of control but saying, "Ooh, ahh, ooh") Ooh, ahh ooh, ahh ooh, ahh, ooh 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 (You sit at home with an alibi) How many lives will you define (In case they call and ask you why all you do is go) How much control should we give up of our lives (You're out of control but saying, "Ooh, ahh, ooh") Ooh, ahh ooh, ahh ooh, ahh, ooh Ahh, ooh, ahh, ooh Ballad of a ladyman
