Some men treat you just like a lady
Others treat you just like a child
And they can drive you so far away
Or they can drive you wild

Some you wanna show to your mama
And some you wouldn't show to your dad
Some wanna take you straight to the altar
And some just wanna take you to bed

Wo men, I'm here to tell you about 'em
Men, we couldn't make it without 'em
I've loved a few and I've found that a few need a friend
There's nothin' better than men to hold
There's nothin' better than men

Some men are as cold as December
Some are 'bout as hot as July
Sometimes they fill your life with happiness
Sometimes they make you cry

Wo men, I'm here to tell you about 'em
Men, we couldn't make it without 'em
I've loved a few and I've found that a few need a friend
There's nothin' better than men to hold
There's nothin' better than men
