Bb
WHAT YOU SAY TO DRIVE THAT GIRL AWAY, WHEN SHE'S THE ONE AND ONLY?
Bb
WHO'S THE ONE THAT YOU BEEN LEANIN' ON,
Bb
EV'RY TIME THAT YOU WERE DOWN AND LONELY?
Bb
HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU SAY TO YOURSELF THAT WOMAN IS THE DEVIL'S TOOL?
Bb
SOMEHOW YOU KNEW THAT YOU BLEW IT AGAIN,
Bb
AND DIDN'T WANNA LOOK LIKE A RAVIN FOOL,
D Bb
BUT WHEN YOU NEED AFFECTION, YOU GO TO HER WITH A SMILIN' FACE,
D
BUT NOW SHE'S GOT A STRANGE REACTION.
Eb Bb Db Ab
FOR LADIES ONLY, TIRED OF TALKIN' 'TILL SOMEBODY HEARS,
Eb Bb Db Ab F
FOR LADIES ONLY, HALF THE WORLD HAS BEEN BUILT UPON THEIR TEARS.
Bb
IF YOU'VE BEEN CONTEMPLATIN' JUST WHAT YOU'RE DOIN' WRONG
Bb
THEN YOU WILL BE A WITNESS TO THE RUMBLE GOIN' ON
Bb
YOU FIND IT HARD TO TELL APART THE TRUTH FROM THE JIVE
Bb
THEY'VE GOT A RIGHT TO SAY IT WRONG IF FREEDOM'S TO SURVIVE
D
NOW IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE YOUR OWN REFLECTION
Bb
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT ALL YOUR SMOOTH TALKIN' FRIENDS
D
I'M SURE YOU'LL MAKE THE RIGHT CONNECTION
Eb Bb Db Ab
FOR LADIES ONLY, TOO MUCH WAITING FOR TOO MANY YEARS,
Eb Bb Db Ab F F7
FOR LADIES ONLY, HALF THE WORLD HAS BEEN BUILT UPON THEIR TEARS.
Bb
I'LL GIVE YOU MY DONATION TO HELP THE CAUSE ALONG,
Bb
I'LL MAKE MY CONTRIBUTION 'TILL THE FIGHT HAS BEEN WON,
Bb
BUT WHEN MY BEDROOM CLOSES ONE THING REMAINS,
Bb
MAN, WOMAN, HOG OR DOG, I'M CALLIN' THE PLAYS,
D
AND IF YOU FIND THE NEED TO RAISE OBJECTIONS,
Bb
DON'T TALK TO ME 'BOUT YOUR WASTED TIME,
D
YOU KNOW YOU MADE YOUR OWN SELECTIONS.
Eb Bb Db Ab
FOR LADIES ONLY, TOO MUCH WAITING FOR TOO MANY YEARS,
Eb Bb Db Ab
FOR LADIES ONLY, HALF THE WORLD HAS BEEN BUILT ON THEIR TEARS.
Eb Bb Db Ab
FOR LADIES ONLY, TIRED OF TALKIN' 'TILL SOMEBODY HEARS,
Eb Bb Db Ab
FOR LADIES ONLY, HALF THE WORLD HAS BEEN BUILT ON THEIR TEARS.
