Lady Killer

Written by John Entwistle

Lyrics

Girls are a thing that have always mystified me
One thing I'll never understand
There's more of those girls than us boys
But they never seem to be at hand
Well, I decided I was gonna be a real lady killer
I was gonna get more than my share
So I went out hunting and soon found out
It's safer hunting grizzly bear

So much for the lady killer
You never could
So much for the lady killer
You just ain't no good

Let me tell you 'bout number one
She sure was fun
I met her at a dance it was my first romance,
I was a lucky son of a gun
We danced for a while then she flashed a smile
So I said let's take a walk outside
She said I don't think I'd better, here comes my fella
He had shoulders four feet wide

So much for the lady killer
You haven't got a clue
So much for the lady killer
The ladies are killing you

Well I was getting frustrated
Sweet sixteen and never been kissed
I got infuriated (down down)
Not even one girl on my telephone list

So I went to Amsterdam and wham bam
I was caught out in the rain
I ran into a restaurant
My legs were crossed with the pain
I asked a waitress where the mens room was
But she didn't understand
So I pointed to the place and she slapped my face
I ended up on the witness stand

So much for the lady killer
So juvenile
So much for the lady killer
You ain't got no style

Well I was getting frustrated
Sweet sixteen and never been kissed
I got infuriated (down down)
Not even one girl on my telephone list

So I went along to the doctor
I said, doctor is there something wrong with me?
He said, stick out your tongue, say aagh and now cough
Not as far as I can see
Oooh you're trying too hard, sit down and relax
I'll tell you what you gotta do
Thre ain't no sense in running after them
Well turn around and let them run after you

So much for the lady killer
It wasn't meant to be
So much for the lady killer
You'd better run off to sea
There you can be a maneater, maneater
Queen bee baby
Queen bee baby
