Steppenwolf - For Ladies Only lyrics

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

Chorus

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
