lyrics
Tell me your vitals and income range
Level of ed., threshold for pain
To separate the whey from the chaff
Please include a photograph
Peruse a profile easily
Take La Belle Dame Sans Merci
A man’s income with a woman’s looks
Do you like the way she cooks the books
Whoever you think you are
I’m sure that you are over-par
The blondes are lying
or they’re dying their hair,
but my guess is
All you really need is just a
passing knowledge of the sexes
Men yearn for a soul mate
Women want the occasional thrill
Swapping truths about our dreams
We’re all playing a slot machine
I been to London and Berlin
You should see the shape I’m in
Who said “seek and ye shall find”
Didn’t know that love was blind
Whoever you think you are
I’m sure that you are over-par
The blondes are lying
or they’re dying their hair,
but my guess is
All you really need is just a
passing knowledge of the sexes
You can share intimate truths
But it will be of little use
Traits that draw a big response
Won’t be a big surprise
I been round the world and back again
I found no love but lots of friends
Maybe I’ve been trying too hard
Now I’m standing in my own backyard
Tonight I’m gonna take my time
Have a drink and write this rhyme
And who knows, maybe someone dear
Will hear my song and draw me near
Whoever you think you are
I’m sure that you are over-par
The blondes are lying
or they’re dying their hair,
but my guess is
All you really need is just a
passing knowledge of the sexes
Yes and all you really need is just a
passing knowledge of the sexes
