Only Son of the Ladiesman Songtext
von Father John Misty

When I heard the Ladies′ Man was dead
I saw the rolling stone stopped moving
Saw my ancient hero on the Sunset Strip
He left behind a legacy of ruin

Now painted ladies want to hold my gun
Wonder if the whole time I'd been acting
When I sang "Moon River" in that silent film
Had I really made a sound when they called action?

I swear that man was womankind′s first husband
They all died in a line to save him
I'm a steady hand, I'm a Dodger′s fan
I′m a leading brand, I'm one-night stand
I′m a Ladies' Man


Oh, only son of the Ladies′ Man
Oh, only son of the Ladies' Man

Couldn′t see his used-up body at the funeral
By virtue of the flailing of his conquests
They tied down his casket with the garter belt
Each troubled heart was beating in a sequin dress

Someone must console these lonesome daughters
No written word or ballad will appease them
The cowboy and the cop shot down the Ladies' Man
The humid nights in LA are now silence
I swear that man was womankind's first husband

Only son of the Ladies′ Man
Only son of the Ladies′ Man
Only son of the Ladies' Man
