war of the sexes chords and lyrics - THE STREETS

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]I dream that one day
I'll have a child
And that child will say to me "dad,
what was war?"
But it's not going to happen!

[Verse 2]
It's a war of [Em]the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn 'cos she's clever
How attracted to you she
is is partly your gab
But it's multiplied by how
little of you she can have

[Verse 3]
Oi the reason girls flirt is [Em]to work
out their worth
Whereas men just hanker for
the panky to happen
Retain this fact I'm hammering,
this fact is gonna matter
What little you think
you're letting by her sly
She senses you're near her
and smells your desire
The general rule of mine : her
intellect will be higher
Your task is to make her notice you fast but hanker
when you don't close in after
She knows she can get most dudes
but she musn't know about you
If you screw this all up and then lose all your cool that's
when she ends up liking you as a friend
You're not playing at hard to get
You're playing at not
getting a hard-on yet
yet

[Verse 4]
It's a war of [Em]the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn 'cos she's clever
How attracted to you she
is is partly your gab
But it's multiplied by how
little of you she can have

[Verse 5]
And you wanna [Em]know what, listen..

[Verse 6]
The answer is to [Em]get close enough to her but listen
the next thing you just totally blank her
You think I'm fuckin' mad don't
ya but I don't shag on my own
Get somewhere close to the lamb but
then glance and turn to the man
You need to get near to the lamb but she
doesn't want to feel cramped
Instead of cowering up to the hostile
lamb bowl up to the trusting man
It's much easier talking to him,
he doesn't suspect you want anything
(just tell him something like..)
Did you know cigarette lighters were
invented before matches?
It's abc making a he break with glee
'Cos he isn't suspicious you're trying
to muscle into his missus
Do you know what I'm talking about
that's why I'm talking about

[Verse 7]
It's a war of [Em]the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn 'cos she's clever
How attracted to you she
is is partly your gab
But it's multiplied by how little
of you she can have

[Verse 8]
The woman is [Em]a highly [B]socially-practiced [F#]master [F]master in body language,
[Em]dab-handed actress
actress
She's calculating all the mad [Am]facts [F]and the figures
[B]while you're pretending to listen sta[Em]ring at her tits

[Verse 9]
It's a war of the [Em]sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn 'cos she's clever
How attracted to you she
is is partly your gab
But it's multiplied by how
little of you she can have

[Verse 10]
It's a war of [Em]the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn 'cos she's clever
How attracted to you she
is is partly your gab
But it's multiplied by how little
of you she can have

[Verse 11]
[Em]Elementary,
my dear cousin (elementary)
I cannot state this enough
She must not clock your flop
You can't placard your march
Your threws seclude your moves
Or you're colluding well weapon

[Verse 12]
It's a war of [Em]the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn 'cos she's clever
How attracted to you she
is is partly your gab
But it's multiplied by how

[Verse 13]
little of you she can have
[Em]
And remember not to get
hammered either
'Cos people who get
hammered don't get to nail
