What You Don't Know About Women
What you don't know about women
(What you don't know about women)
Could fill a shelf of books
You are the type of man who looks
For understanding lovers
But never understands the girl
Who lies beneath the covers
You only have to open up your mouth to show
What you don't know
(And you don't know)
About women
A woman needs to be assured
That she remains alluring
To now and then be reassured
Your passion is enduring
It's not enough to know your line
To polish and routine it
(And heaven knows i know your line
The whole routine, i've seen it)
Ya gotta mean it
What you don't know about women
(What you don't know about women)
Is what we need to hear
You think if you can sound sincere
Then we'll come running to you
Throw in some truth for atmosphere
But we can see right through you
And ev'ry hollow compliment and phrase defines
And underlines
What you don't know about women
You think what i don't know will not hurt me
But you don't know how often you do
How long ago did good sense desert me
I don't know why i still burn for you
You're immature and shortsighted
You're an incurable player
You show a lack of discretion
You don't know jack about heartache
You're out of sync with your feelings
You only wink at commitment
You're running low on emotion
What you don't know about women's
Only a drop in the ocean
Next to what you don't know about me
You are in need of
A little enlight'ning
On ladies and love
But you can't see
What you don't know about women
Is fright'ning
And you don't know nothin' about me
(What you don't know about women)
Could fill a shelf of books
You are the type of man who looks
For understanding lovers
But never understands the girl
Who lies beneath the covers
You only have to open up your mouth to show
What you don't know
(And you don't know)
About women
A woman needs to be assured
That she remains alluring
To now and then be reassured
Your passion is enduring
It's not enough to know your line
To polish and routine it
(And heaven knows i know your line
The whole routine, i've seen it)
Ya gotta mean it
What you don't know about women
(What you don't know about women)
Is what we need to hear
You think if you can sound sincere
Then we'll come running to you
Throw in some truth for atmosphere
But we can see right through you
And ev'ry hollow compliment and phrase defines
And underlines
What you don't know about women
You think what i don't know will not hurt me
But you don't know how often you do
How long ago did good sense desert me
I don't know why i still burn for you
You're immature and shortsighted
You're an incurable player
You show a lack of discretion
You don't know jack about heartache
You're out of sync with your feelings
You only wink at commitment
You're running low on emotion
What you don't know about women's
Only a drop in the ocean
Next to what you don't know about me
You are in need of
A little enlight'ning
On ladies and love
But you can't see
What you don't know about women
Is fright'ning
And you don't know nothin' about me
