Jimmy, you know my love is true
Oh baby, you know I love only you
And I'm itchy, whoa you get me through every day
Nathan, hold on I got something to say
Menfolk they need their women
But women don't need their men
Ladies can walk away grinnin'
But guys act surprised, I thought I was your man
Why'd you leave me baby?
Well, sir here's a maybe
Maybe it's because we can
What the hell do you mean?
Well for instance, you get a one you want to fold
And what else?
You're a fiend, you're tight-fisted
Got no morale, I'm only shrugging, sold your soul, sell your soul to get your gold
But hey, hey, hey, that ain't nothing to do with you
You're a sensitive Joe I'm forgettin'
But every woman knows
It's a pose, just a pose
You're preening in your armchair
And I'm steaming the chimney
Go on pontificating like I care
Peter Lorie, then a story about AC/DC
Harvard educated, frustrated dictator
Tyrant with a Ph.D.
What the hell do you mean?
Well for instance, you have started every war
And what else?
You're obscene, get your porno
From Time/Warner who was fornicating foreign shores
But hey, hey, hey, that ain't nothing to do with you
You're a sensitive Joe I'm forgettin'
But every woman knows
It's a pose, just a pose
Sammy oh, lemme put away the kettle
Oh no honey, your arrogance is what makes you special
And a man of course, when you leave your miss
You fellas, can't you see I'm pissed?
Trying to enjoy my reading
But you insist on interpreted text
Oh go on f*** off, I'm pleading
Every sentence is a pretext for sex, sex, sex, sex
God you went to Oxford, head still in your boxers
But you're a man so what should I expect?
What the hell do you mean?
Well for instance, you've committed every rape
And what else?
I won't heed your insistance
Mr. copulating, masturbating, denigrating, resignation
Instigating, violator of my escape
But hey, hey, hey, that ain't nothing to do with you
You're a sensitive Joe I'm forgettin'
But every woman knows
It's a pose, just a pose
Heaven knows the world's your home
There she goes
