 x2
 Women seem  to like  me
 They seem to like  what I  have to say
 When they see  me  out in public
 Women seem  to look  my way
 Women seem  to treat  me so gracious
 They sing  me to sleep  with a song
 But there always seems  to be a problem
 Women don't  seem to like  me long
 :| intro, sing over Yeah, yeah, yeah
 Women seem  to want  me
 To stay  with them  all night
 We have so much  in common
 Our futures  really do  seem bright
 Women seem  to forgive  me
 They seem to become  my very  good friends
 But when it comes  time for  a commitment
 The romance  always seems  to end
 They tell  me all their stories
 We lay  awake and talk all night
Maybe  it's me I  don't know
 But in the morning  there always seems to be  some kind of fight
La  la la la, la  la la la la  x2
 Well women seem  to be  so clever
 I love  all the jokes  that they tell
 Like my last  boyfriend  really hurt  me in bed
  E (tacet) riff2
 Hey but you seem to fit so well
 Women sure  can hurt  your feelings
 They can burn  you down and not  make a sound
 And then they call  me up and say  hey come over
 My husband  has just  left town
 They tell  me all their stories
 We lay  awake and laugh all night
Maybe  it's me I  don't know
 But in the morning  there always seems to be  some kind of fight
 Women seem  to love houses
 I've bought  a couple for  one or two
 Women seem  to think all men  are louses
 And I guess  I  think so too
 Women seem  so much smarter
Than  your average Joe
 Women seem  to be a little more intuitive
 And when they lie  nobody knows
 (play riff1 alone)
 Well women seem  to know how  to keep a secret
 They don't blabbermouth just  for show
 Fifty percent  of their charm  is illusion
 And that  is a good  thing to know
 (play normally)
 Women seem  to like  me
 They seem to like  what I  have to say
 And when they see  me  out in public
 Women seem  to look  my way
 x4
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 Yeah, women seem  to like  me
 They seem to like  what I  have to say
