What you say to drive that girl away 
When she's the one and only? 
Who's the one that you been leanin' on 
Ev'ry time that you were down and lonely? 
How many times did you say to yourself that woman is the devil's tool? 
Somehow you knew that you blew it again and didn't wanna look like a ravin fool 
But when you need affection 
You go to her with a smilin' face 
But now she's got a strange reaction 

For ladies only 
Tired of talkin' 'till somebody hears 
For ladies only 
Half the world has been built upon their tears 

If you've been contemplatin' just what you're doin' wrong 
Then you will be a witness to the rumble goin' on 
You fight it hard to tell apart the truth from the jive 
They've got a right to say it wrong if freedom's to survive 
Now if you don't believe your own reflection 
Just take a look at all your smooth talkin' friends 
I'm sure you'll make the right connection 

For ladies only 
Tired of talkin' 'till somebody hears 
For ladies only 
Half the world has been built upon their tears 

I'll give you my donation to help the cause along 
I'll make my contribution 'till the fight has been won 
But when my bedroom closes one thing remains 
Man, woman, hog or dog, I'm callin' the plays 
And if you find the need to raise objections 
Don't talk to me 'bout your wasted time 
You know you made your own selections 

For ladies only 
Tired of talkin' 'till somebody hears 
For ladies only 
Half the world has been built upon their tears
