《What Does A Woman See In A Man(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] What Does A Woman See In A Man - Jimmy Webb

[00:00:00] He stinks to high heaven half covered with hair

[00:00:06] And grunts just like some old orang-utan

[00:00:12] While she smells of clean skin and a trace of jasmine

[00:00:17] And speaks like a first rate librarian

[00:00:23] His stomach hangs out there's a hump on his back

[00:00:28] He eats like Conan the Barbarian

[00:00:33] While she keeps herself trim and her posture is prim

[00:00:39] Her manners are quite cosmopolitan

[00:00:44] He laughs like a donkey and farts in the bed

[00:00:50] And flips cigarettes in the can

[00:00:54] But she always acts nice with no visible vice

[00:01:03] Tell me what does a woman see in a man

[00:01:11] He hangs out in bars and he tells stupid jokes

[00:01:16] And seems to think he's a comedian

[00:01:21] While she's clever polite stays sober all night

[00:01:26] And sips on her one Presbyterian

[00:01:32] He drives a gas hog like Attila the Hun

[00:01:37] And woe to the luckless pedestrian

[00:01:42] While she prefers bikes and bird-watching hikes

[00:01:47] And sailing and riding equestrian

[00:01:52] He has a name like Duane or Leroy

[00:01:58] Hers is Vanessa or Anne

[00:02:03] Hers sounds like a song

[00:02:06] But Duane is all wrong

[00:02:10] Tell me what does a woman see in a man

[00:02:19] Doesn't she know that she's unique

[00:02:25] Doesn't she know that he's just a freak -- of nature

[00:02:34] Overbearing insecure wanting love but so unsure

[00:02:43] Loving her because she's pure

[00:02:47] And yet dreaming of orgies in Vegas or Cannes

[00:02:54] He preens and strikes poses Olympian

[00:02:59] While she shoulders the cross

[00:03:02] And lets him play boss

[00:03:05] His nurse and long-suffering Samaritan

[00:03:10] He brags about knocking the world on its ass

[00:03:16] But oh when the shit hits the fan

[00:03:22] She'll bail him out she's the one with the clout

[00:03:29] Only she knows how humankind ever began

[00:03:38] What does a woman see

[00:03:45] What does a woman see in a man
