Em Bm Em C B
A G F#m F#m
EmHere we go, I'm haGnging out in Camden
BmDrinkin with my girlfriends on a SAaturday nEmight
EmThis guy says, "cGome and meet my girlfriend"
She's sBmitting in the corner looking rAather uptEmight
So I sDay "hello" and I tAry to be nEmice
But I Dsee he's feeling D#itchDy
DTrying to play us Emoff each other,
C"Girls, girls, please don't fiBght" (you get the picture)
EmHey you, the mGuscles and the long hair
BmTelling me that women are supeArior to Emmen
EmMost guys just Gdon't appreciate this
BmYou just try convincing me you're beAtter than Emthem
DSo he talks for hours about his sAensitive sEmoul
DAnd his favorite subject iD#s sDex
DI don't think he even Emwanted it
Whatever, ChCrist this guy's too mBuch (I wanna tell him)
CI'm as human Emas the next girl,
I liCke a bit of fEmlattery
But CI don't need your Empracticed lines, your scChool of charm menBtality so
CSave your breath for sEmomeone else and crCedit me with Emsomething more
CWhen it comes to Emmen like you,
I knCow the score,
I've Bheard it all befEmore
Blondie was with me for a summer
He flirted like a maniac but I wouldn't bite
I'm weak and he was so persistent
He only had to have me 'cause I put up a fight
Oh EmGod, the bGoy had such an ego
He Bmliked to talk about himself all dAay and all niEmght
YEmou think you're sGuch a ladykiller
But Bmyou were nothing special 'til you tuArned out the lEmight
When he's nDice to me he's just niAce to himsEmelf
And he's wDatching his reflD#ectDion
DI'm a five foot mirror for Emadoring himself
Here's sCeven years bad luBck (I wanna tell him)
CWhen you say you Emlove me you're just flaCttering your Emvanity
But CI don't need your pEmracticed lines, yoCur school of charm mentBality so
CSave your breath for someEmone else and Ccredit me with sEmomething more
CWhen it comes to Emmen like you,
I kCnow the score,
I've hBeard it all beEmfore
EmOoh, you're Gsuch a ladykiller, Bmalways on a winner, Cthinking that you're in there
EmOh boy, you're such a Gladykiller, Bmsuper sexy mister, Ccall it what you will, oh
EmYou think you're suGch a ladykiller, BmI just bet you're still there, pCosing in the mirror
EmHey girls, he's sucGh a ladykiller, but Bmwe know where he's coming from and Awe know the scEmore.
