marilyn rucker - modern man lyrics

Loading...

you must never open conversation
you must only smile and look discreet
let him think you’ve got your reservations
but when he speaks to you be very sweet
never give him all of you attention
let him think he’s got to plot and plan
if he wants you he’ll show his intentions
that’s the way to catch the modern man

some girls think they’ll win by being honest. (ha ha)
some girls think that way there’s no regret
but all the happy women with men promise
they’ve been successful playing hard to get

i was once a loser too
didn’t know the rules
why were all the men i dated
so standoffish and cruel?

that was back when i still bought my dinner
that was back when i returned their calls
but then i worked to get seven pounds thinner
and started acting like a living doll
and no man’s yet to call me false or worthless
they’re all acting ga+ga and in love
lest you think this moral tale is mirthless
laugh! it’s modern man i’m speaking of!

yes it’s just the way you’re mama taught you
men won’t buy the cow if they’ve got milk. (got milk?)
don’t put out or make him sure he’s caught you
unless you’re dressed in white satin and silk

just treat him like you can’t be sure you love him
but not as bad as someone you can’t stand
he’ll put you on a pedestal above him
that’s the way to catch the modern man
just one little caveat
heed this warning call
once you’re on the pedestal
you must never fall

you must never open conversation
you must only smile and look discreet
let him think you’ve got your reservations
but when he speaks to you be very sweet
never give him all of you attention
let him think he’s got to plot and plan
if he wants you he’ll show his intentions
that’s the way to catch the modern man
