Girls, Women and Ladies Songtext
von Ed Bruce

There was only me and her and him
The bar was taking last call
So, I thought I′d move on in
I was slick and feeling like a man

So, I took the stool between them
And ordered one more round
For me and her and him

I laid my arm across
The back of her bar stool
Don't remember what I said
But at the time it sounded cool

She just pushed her drink away
And never looked at me
She paid her tab, tipped the man
And left me sitting there alone with him


He said, "There′s girls
There's women and there's ladies
There′s yeses and nos and maybesâ€

â€There′s teasing and pleasing
They start learning when they're babies
There′s girls, there's women and there′s ladiesâ€

He pushed his old straw hat back
And he grinned, "Ain't they all mysteries?
And, sonny, it′s a sin
They're all sitting on the worldâ€

â€We're trying to win
But, Lord, I love a mystery
So let′s drink another round
To me and you and themâ€

He said, "There′s girls
There's women and there′s ladies
There's yeses and nos and maybes"

"There′s teasing and pleasing
They start learning when they're babies
There′s girls, there's women and there's ladies"
