Only girls can do you

Failure, lack of daring
when parts of me need sharing,
staring, in the bar-mirror
my ! but she's a killer,
kinda puts you in a place
where your blood begins to race
you're uneasy, out of sorts
striking all the wrong chords

       On the make, or on the take
       makes no difference
       in an upside-down world
       where it's women
       only girls can do you

Sure I like your antics
you bet I'm a romantic
but I like it in small doses
your passion and your roses
I know I've had enough
when it tends to get so rough
that I'm crying in my pillow
piling up my sorrow

        refr.

I think your plane is hi-jacked
I can see your train is packed
with memories of yesterday
the things your parents say
the come-ons of the studs
all nipped in the bud
there's somewhere we could go
with reserve and guilt in tow

     refr.
