A Ladiesman - Oscar Brown Jr.

Back as a boy I longed to be

The fellow women loved to see

And have them all consider me

A «Ladiesman»

I dreamed of Jeannie with delight

And Mary moanin' in the night

As I became with all my might

A «Ladiesman»

Developed into a fuller flower

This throbbing thrust of manly power

Consumed my every waking hour

A «Ladiesman»

I felt the urge, that awful itch

It mounted to a fever pitch

I had me girls no matter which

A «Ladiesman»

Ah, but the hottest fever cools

Those who don’t face that fact are fools

For like all men time overrules

A «Ladiesman»

What once was warm began to chill

As father time enforced his will

Until I wondered «am I still

«A Ladiesman?»

At first I tried to hide my loss

Pretending I was still the boss

With girls who’d never come across

A «Ladiesman»

But they moved with too swift a step

I needed patience more than pep

To keep alive my fading rep

A «Ladiesman»

Don’t get me wrong now, I not dead

My shoulders hold a damn good head

So joy has not completely fled

A «Ladiesman»

But it can never be the same

The vigor’s vanished from my game

For reminiscing, can you blame

A «Ladiesman»?

I look back at the life I’ve led

What would my powers have got, instead

Had I not shot so much in bed

A «Ladiesman»?

What tricky trade might I have tried

Had I not laid pre-occupied

But then whose ever satisfied

A «Ladiesman»?

The women I laid, frequently

Each in her heart held secretly

That she was really making me

A «Ladiesman»

A woman feels, a man may guess

That she conceals beneath her dress

A trap in which she can possess

A «Ladiesman»

She throws the bait, she shows the lure

There’s no escaping, that’s for sure

You’re never really free when you’re

A «Ladiesman»

Each fellow follows his own star

But take no appetite too far

That’s sound advice, in case you are

A «Ladiesman»

But you call all this sour grapes

Devote yourself to willing rapes

And never mind what all escapes

A «Ladiesman»

Oh, you must feel betrayed by age

I’m reading from a later page

You can’t hear me at your stage

A «Ladiesman»

Therefore, my boy, enjoy your prime

Until your fateful date with time

When no longer can you claim, «Hey I’m

A Ladiesman»

Hey, there’s a beauty, you agree?

Has quite a body, hasn’t she?

Well, sock it to her once for me!

A «Ladiesman»
