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
