Ballad of a Ladyman Lyrics by 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
    we'll 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
    i know i'd make a mint
    with new plastic skin
    and a hit on the radio
    temptations of a ladyman

    i could be demure like girls who are soft
    and boys who are fearful of getting an earful
    but i gotta rock!
    i'd rather be a ladyman

    how many times will you decide?
    how many lives will you define?
    how much control should we give up of our lives?
    (you sit at home with an alibi
    in case they call and ask you
    why all you do is go "oooh, ahh, oooh")
    you're out of control but saying
    "oooh, aah, oooh, aah, oooh, aah, oooh

    are we holding on to our pride a bit too long?
    are we breaking on guitars?
    are we breaking you apart?

    oooh, aah, oooh
    ballad of a ladyman
