_ [Cm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [F] _
[Cm] As a boy, [F] I longed to [D] be the fellow women [F] loved to see [D] and have them all [G] consider me [Cm] a ladies' [F]
man.
[Eb] Yeah.
[F] _ [Cm] I dreamed of Jeannie [F] with delight, [Cm] and Mary [F] moaning in the night, [D] as I became, [G] with all my [Cm] might, a [F] ladies' [Cm] man. _ _
Developed into a [F] fuller flower, this [Cm] throbbing thrust [F] of manly power [C] consumed my [G] every waking [Cm] hour, a ladies' [F]
man.
[Cm] Yeah.
[F] I [Cm] felt the urge, that [F] awful itch, it [Cm] mounted to a [F] fever pitch.
I [D] had me girls no [G] matter which, [Cm] a ladies' [F] man.
[Cm] _ _ _
[Fm] Ah, but the hottest fever cools [Eb] those who won't face [Ab] that fact are fools, [Cm] for like all [G] men, time [Cm] overrules [F] a ladies' [Cm] man.
_ [Bb] What once [Fm] was warm [Bb] began to chill, [Eb] as Father Time [Ab] enforced his [Fm] will, until I wondered, am I [G] still a ladies' man?
[Cm] At first I tried [F] to hide my [Eb] loss, pretending I [F] was still the boss [D] with girls who [G] never come [Cm] across [Bb] a ladies' [Cm] man. _
But they moved with [F] too swift a [Cm] step.
I needed [F] patience more than [D] pep to keep alive [G] my fading [Cm] rep, [F] a ladies' [Cm] man.
_ [F] Don't [Cm] get me wrong now, [F] I'm not dead.
[Cm] My shoulders hold a [F] damn good head, [D] so joy [G] has not completely [Cm] fled, [F] a ladies' [Cm] man.
_ [F]
But [Bm] it can never be [F] the same.
[Cm] The vigors vanish from my game, [D] for [G] reminiscing [Cm] can you blame a [F] ladies' man?
[Cm] _ _ I look [Fm] back on the [Bb] life I've led.
[Eb] What might my powers have got [Cm] instead, had I not shot [G] so much in [Cm] bed, a ladies' man?
_ _ [Dm]
What [Fm] tricky trade might I have tried, [Eb] had I not laid [Ab] _
[Fm] preoccupied?
But then who's ever [G] satisfied, a ladies' man?
[Gm] The women [F] I've made frequently, [Cm] each in her [F] heart held [D] secretly that she was [G] really making [Cm] me a [F] ladies' [Cm] man.
_ [F] A woman [Cm] feels, a [F] man may guess, that [Cm] she conceals [F] beneath her dress [D] a trap in which [G] she can [Cm] possess a [F] ladies' man.
[Cm] _ _ [F]
She [Cm] throws the bait, she [F] shows the lure, [Cm] there's no escaping [F] that's for sure, [D] you're never [G] really free [Cm] when you're a [F] ladies' _ [Cm] man.
[F] Each [Cm] mellow follows [F] his own star, [Cm] but take no [F] appetite too far, [D] that sound [G] advice in case [Cm] you are a [F] ladies' [Cm] man. _
But [Fm] you call [Eb] all this sour grapes, devote [Ab] yourself to willing [Fm] rapes, and never mind what all [Cm] escapes, [Bb] a ladies' [Cm] man.
_ [Dm] All [Fm] you must feel [Dm] betrayed by age, [Eb] I'm reading [Ab] from a later [Fm] page, you can't hear me at your [G] stage, _ ladies' man.
[Cm] Therefore my [F] boy, enjoy your [Cm] prime, until [F] your fateful date [D] with time, when [G] you can claim no [Cm] longer, I'm a [F] ladies' [Cm] man.
_ [F]
Hey, [Cm] there's a beauty, you agree?

[Cm] Got quite a [F] body, [Cm] hasn't she?
_ [F] _
