For Ladies Only Lyrics


What you say to drive that girl away
When she's the one and only?
Who's the one that you been leanin' on
Every time that you were down and lonely?
How many times did you say to yourself
That woman is the devil's tool?
Somehow you knew that you blew it again
And didn't wanna look like a ravin' fool
But when you need affection
You go to her with a smilin' face
But now she's got a strange reaction
For ladies only
Tired of talkin' till somebody hears
For ladies only
Half the world has been built upon their tears
If you've been contemplatin' just what you're doin' wrong
Then you will be a witness to the rumble goin' on
You fight it hard to tell apart the truth from the jive

They've got a right to say it wrong if freedom's to survive
Now if you don't believe your own reflection
Just take a look at all your smooth talkin' friends
I'm sure you'll make the right connection
For ladies only
Too much waitin' for too many years
For ladies only
Half the world has been built upon their tears
I'll give you my donation to help the cause along
I'll make my contribution till the fight has been won
But when my bedroom closes, one thing remains
Man, woman, hog or dog, I'm callin' the plays
And if you find the need to raise objections
Don't talk to me 'bout your wasted time
You know you made your own selections
For ladies only
Too much waitin' for too many years
For ladies only
Half the world has been built on their tears
For ladies only
Tired of talkin' till somebody hears
For ladies only
Half the world has been built on their tears
For ladies only
Too much waitin' for too many years
For ladies only
Half the world has been built on their tears
For ladies only
Tired of talkin' till somebody hears
For ladies only

Steppenwolf is a rock band which formed in Los Angeles, California, United States in 1967. The band originally consisted of John Kay (vocals, guitar), Michael Monarch (guitar), Rushton Moreve (bass), Goldie McJohn (keyboards) and Jerry Edmonton (drums). The band is best known for their hit singles "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". They were named after the novel Der Steppenwolf by German author Hermann Hesse.

Frontman John Kay's mother escaped with him at age 4 from Soviet occupied East Germany, an event recounted in the song "Renegade" on the album Steppenwolf Seven. His family resettled in Hannover, West Germany, before moving to Canada in 1958. Kay is partially blind, hence the use of dark glasses

In 1968, Nick St. Nicholas replaced Moreve as bass player.

Steppenwolf had its origins in the Toronto blues band Sparrow, which was formed in 1964 and played coffeehouses in Yorkville. By 1967 they had settled in San Francisco.

Steppenwolf rocketed to fame after their third single, "Born to Be Wild" was used in the movie Easy Rider, as well as "The Pusher". The former song may have coined the term "heavy metal". This was followed by several more hits, including "Magic Carpet Ride" from Steppenwolf the Second, and "Rock Me" from At Your Birthday Party. Many fans consider their double album Steppenwolf Live [an extended single album in the UK] the best of Steppenwolf's releases. Monster and For Ladies Only were the band's most political albums, and are still fondly remembered by fans as two of the best rock & roll snapshots of the attitudes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The band broke up in 1971, and Kay pursued a solo career. Steppenwolf reformed in 1974 with the album Slow Flux, and disbanded in 1976. Afterwards, several versions of the band toured North America until Kay reformed the official version of the group in 1980.

John Kay released a solo album in 2001.
