What Does a Woman See in a Man |
He stinks to high heaven, half covered with hair |
And grunts just like some old orang-utan |
While she smells of clean skin and a trace of jasmine |
And speaks like a first rate librarian |
His stomach hangs out, there’s a hump on his back |
He eats like Conan the Barbarian |
While she keeps herself trim, and her posture is prim |
Her manners are quite cosmopolitan |
He laughs like a donkey and farts in the bed |
And flips cigarettes in the can |
But she always acts nice, with no visible vice |
Tell me, what does a woman see in a man? |
He hangs out in bars and he tells stupid jokes |
And seems to think he’s a comedian |
But she’s clever, polite, stays sober all night |
And sips on her one Presbyterian |
He drives a gas hog like Attila the Hun |
And woe to the luckless pedestrian |
While she prefers bikes and bird-watching hikes |
And sailing and riding equestrian |
He has a name like Duane or Leroy |
Hers is Vanessa or Anne |
Hers sounds like a song |
But Duane is all wrong |
Tell me, what does a woman see in a man? |
(BRIDGE) |
Doesn’t she know that she’s unique |
Doesn’t she know that he’s just a freak -- of nature |
Overbearing, insecure, wanting love but so unsure |
Loving her because she’s pure |
And yet, dreaming of orgies in Vegas or Cannes |
He preens and strikes poses Olympian |
While she shoulders the cross |
And lets him play boss |
His nurse and long-suffering Samaritan |
He brags about knocking the world on its ass |
But oh, when the shit hits the fan |
She’ll bail him out, she’s the one with the clout |
Only she knows how humankind ever began |
What does a woman see in a man? |
What does a woman see in a man? |
