♪♫ What you say to drive that girl away
When she's the one and only?
Who's the one that you been leanin' on
Ev'ry time that you were down and lonely?
How many times did you say to yourself that woman is the devil's tool?
Somehow you knew that you blew it again and didn't wanna look like a ravin' fool
But when you need affection
You go to her with a smilin' face
But now she's got a strange reaction

For ladies only
Tired of talkin' 'till somebody hears
For ladies only
Half the world has been built upon their tears

If you've been contemplatin' just what you're doin' wrong
Then you will be a witness to the rumble goin' on
You fight it hard to tell apart the truth from the jive
They've got a right to say it wrong if freedom's to survive

Now if you don't believe your own reflection
Just take a look at all your smooth talkin' friends
I'm sure you'll make the right connection

For ladies only
Too much waitin' for too many years
For ladies only
Half the world has been built upon their tears



I'll give you my donation to help the cause along
I'll make my contribution 'till the fight has been won
But when my bedroom closes one thing remains
Man, woman, hog or dog, I'm callin' the plays
And if you find the need to raise objection
Don't talk to me 'bout your wasted time
You know you made your own selections

For ladies only
Too much waitin' for too many years
For ladies only
Half the world has been built on their tears
For ladies only
Tired of talkin' 'till somebody hears
For ladies only
Half the world has been built on their tears
For ladies only
Too much waitin' for too many years
For ladies only
Half the world has been built on their tears
For ladies only
Tired of talkin' 'till somebody hears
For ladies only.... ♪♫

Cuando aún todos los sueños estaban vivos, recuerdo exactamente cuando lo compre.

Para Abrohill ~ Algunos de nosotros todavía tenemos el sueño de una existencia de cooperación, mientras vivía en esta pesadilla corporativa ☺ ;-j

[MandyVin17]

Very underrated SW album. Trying to find that tune on this one "Hey you, keep your head down"... So ahead of their time. Thanks a ton bro!

[ELGROOVER]

[coughnuroff1960]

One of the best Steppenwolf songs ever! And too little noticed

[eloypath]

Well done,not only this fantastic Song,the Vid is made so you dont look only to the Cover for almost 10 Minutes and nothing happens.

[iwantarocknroll]

Yes this tune sure brings back a lot of good memories of better times. I really like this album and i play it often on my turn table with the head phones on and cranked. It has a lot to say as this music is timeless. The album cover is really cool.

[rockingirlsusan]

@Abrohill my dad wouldnt ever let me look at the album when i was a young girl and he played it alot but now i know y lol

[mistertangoful]

[steve25985]

regarding FredG comment: if you have the album cover, take a close look at the white trim- it's a repetative print of 2 women 69ing eachother.....

[martianshoes]

The interlude owes a lot to Ramsey Lewis if you ask me...I have worn out 3 copies of this over the last 30+ years..

[Abys22]

que pedazo de temaaaa

que pedazo de temaaaa

[bloozemc]

[bry114]

The piano solo/instrumental portion of this song is what makes it great!

[bobi801211]

que buena rola de este grande

[fredG1941]

Its to bad YouTube can't show the inside of the LADIES ONLY album cover. Its actually a fold out. The inside shows the L.A. police on Hollywood Blvd. having pulled over a sports car with a modified hood made to look like an erect penis. PRICELESS
