For Ladies Only chords by Steppenwolf

Em
You say you're on it but you just don't know
You're spending money like you're on death row
You must be miseducated by all the guys that you've dated
You think I'll take the bait but I don't think so
Oh oh
Am I heading for a car crash
Oh oh
Just about to meet my match
She takes the oh oh
I'm about to fall in head first
Sisters let me tell you how it works
Hey!
     Em
She's got her lipstick on
Here I come da da dum
She's got her lipstick on
Hit and run then I'm gone
      Em
And check my collar, collar, eh eh eh
And check my collar, collar, eh eh
Oh oh

You're looking me and I got you in mind
I come on over see what I could find
No apetite for delusion
How could I win when I'm losing
You're saying yes when it is no, no, no, no

Oh oh
Am I heading for a  car crash
Oh oh
Just about to meet my match
She takes the oh oh
I'm about to fall in head first
Sisters let me tell you how it works
Hey!

She's got her lipstick on
Here I come da da dum
She's got her lipstick on
Hit and run then I'm gone
And check my collar, collar, eh, eh eh
And check my collar, collar, eh eh

She's got her lipstick on
Here I come da da dum
She's got her lipstick on
Hit and run then I'm gone
And check my collar, collar, eh, eh eh
And check my collar, collar, eh
                               Em
It's not that I don't want to play, play, play
And then I didn't look your way, way, way
                                Am
It's not like every girl's the same, same, same
You gotta know just how to treat this miss
                   Em
Or she will be dismissed
Hey

She's got her lipstick on
Here I come da da dum
She's got her lipstick on
Hit and run then I'm gone
And check my collar, collar, eh, eh eh
And check my collar, collar, eh eh

She's got her lipstick on
Here I come da da dum
She's got her lipstick on
Hit and run then I'm gone
And check my collar, collar, eh, eh, eh
And check my collar, collar, eh, eh, eh
        Em
Here I come, here I come, da da dum da dum da dum
                                 Em
Here I come, here I come, da da dum da dum da dum
         Am
Hit and run, hit and run, dum dum dum dum dum dum dum
          Em

Intro: Gb

Bb
WHAT YOU SAY TO DRIVE THAT GIRL AWAY, WHEN SHE'S THE ONE AND ONLY?
Bb
WHO'S THE ONE THAT YOU BEEN LEANIN' ON,
Bb
EV'RY TIME THAT YOU WERE DOWN AND LONELY?
Bb
HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU SAY TO YOURSELF THAT WOMAN IS THE DEVIL'S TOOL?
Bb
SOMEHOW YOU KNEW THAT YOU BLEW IT AGAIN,
Bb
AND DIDN'T WANNA LOOK LIKE A RAVIN FOOL,
Bb
BUT WHEN YOU NEED AFFECTION, YOU GO TO HER WITH A SMILIN' FACE,
D
BUT NOW SHE'S GOT A STRANGE REACTION.

Ab
FOR LADIES ONLY, TIRED OF TALKIN' 'TILL SOMEBODY HEARS,
F
FOR LADIES ONLY, HALF THE WORLD HAS BEEN BUILT UPON THEIR TEARS.

Bb
IF YOU'VE BEEN CONTEMPLATIN' JUST WHAT YOU'RE DOIN' WRONG
Bb
THEN YOU WILL BE A WITNESS TO THE RUMBLE GOIN' ON
Bb
YOU FIND IT HARD TO TELL APART THE TRUTH FROM THE JIVE
Bb
THEY'VE GOT A RIGHT TO SAY IT WRONG IF FREEDOM'S TO SURVIVE
D
NOW IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE YOUR OWN REFLECTION
Bb
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT ALL YOUR SMOOTH TALKIN' FRIENDS
D
I'M SURE YOU'LL MAKE THE RIGHT CONNECTION

Ab
FOR LADIES ONLY, TOO MUCH WAITING  FOR TOO MANY YEARS,

FOR LADIES ONLY, HALF THE WORLD HAS BEEN BUILT UPON THEIR TEARS.

Bb
I'LL GIVE YOU MY DONATION TO HELP THE CAUSE ALONG,

I'LL MAKE MY CONTRIBUTION 'TILL THE FIGHT HAS BEEN WON,
Bb
BUT WHEN MY BEDROOM CLOSES ONE THING REMAINS,
Bb
MAN, WOMAN, HOG OR DOG, I'M CALLIN' THE PLAYS,
D
AND IF YOU FIND THE NEED TO RAISE OBJECTIONS,
Bb
DON'T TALK TO ME 'BOUT YOUR WASTED TIME,
D
YOU KNOW YOU MADE YOUR OWN SELECTIONS.
