What Does A Woman See In A Man?
FHe stinks to high Dm7heaven, half Fcovered with Dm7hair
And Abgrunts just like some old Bb7oranguEbtan
While she Gbsmells of clean Dbskin and a Etrace of jasBmine
And Bb7speaks like a first rate liEbbrarian
AbmHis stomach hangs out, there's a Gbhump on his back
He Bmaj7eats like Conan the BarEbarian
While she Gbkeeps herself Dbtrim, and her Eposture is Bprim
Her Bb7manners are quite cosmopoliEbtan
AbmHe laughs like a donkey and Gbfarts in the bed
And Eflips cigarettes in the Ebcan Bb7
But she Ebalways acts Fm7nice, with no Ebvisible Abvice
Tell me, Gm7what does a Cm7woman Fm7see in a Bbman?
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?
CmDoesn't she Bbknow that Fshe's unique
F#Doesn't she F#+know that F#6he's just a freak of Bnature
C#Overbearing, inseBmaj7cure, C#wanting love but so Bmaj7unsure
C#Loving her because she's Ebpure
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?
