Lyrics
I LIKE WOMEN (BUT THEY DON?T LIKE ME)
When I was a young man, a younger man than this
All that I could dream about was the moment of a kiss
Now my arms are wrapped around that still evasive dream
Some folks say they can?t get enough, I?m not even on the scene
All I ever wanted when I fell in love with you
Was for you to turn to me and say you loved me too
Chorus:
I like women but they don?t like me
My heart is made for giving but I just can?t make them see
Romance is a pretty word but now I beg you please
Put me in a prison Lord I?m on my bended knees
I have tried so many times to learn to change my ways
But I can?t find a fault in me that keeps those girls away
I can?t be a priest you know I?m not the praying kind
The only other choice I see is to live a life of crime
Sitting in a cell I know won?t keep them from my head
But I won?t have to try to put my thoughts inside my bed
(chorus)
Love is such a pretty word, but now I beg you please
Put me in a prison Lord I?m on my bended knees
Put me in a prison Lord I?m on my bended knees
