For Ladies Only Lyrics - For Ladies Only - Steppenwolf

What you say to drive that girl away 

When she's the one and only? 

Who's the one that you been leanin' on 

Every 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 

Too much waitin' for too many years 

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 

Too much waitin' for too many years 

For ladies only 

Half the world has been built on their tears 

For ladies only 

Tired of talkin' till somebody hears 

For ladies only 

Half the world has been built on their tears 

For ladies only 

Too much waitin' for too many years 

For ladies only 

Half the world has been built on their tears 

For ladies only 

Tired of talkin' till somebody hears 

For ladies only
