Eye cream and thigh cream
How 'bout a get high cream?
Nothing I do smoothed out the feelings
Of being used
The Ballad of a Ladyman

Freak that I am
Live in Japan
Let's 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 you apart
Are we breaking on guitars

They say I've gone too far
With the image I've got and
They know I'd make a mint
With new plastic skin
And a hit on the radio!
Oh, temptations of a ladyman

I could be demure like
Girls who are soft for
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
"Ooh ahh ohh"
You're out of control but saying
"Ooh ahh ooh")
