Song lyrics War of the sexes by The Streets

I dream that one day iīll have a child
And that child will say to me "dad, what was war?"
But itīs not going to happen

Itīs a war of the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn īcause sheīs clever
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab
But itīs multiplied by how little of you she can have

Oi the reason girls flirt is to work out their worth
Whereas men just hanker for the panky to happen
Retain this fact iīm hammering, this fact is gonna matter
What little you think youīre letting by her sly
She senses youīre near her and smells your desire
The general rule of mine, her intellect will be higher
Your task is to make her notice you fast but hanker when you donīt close in after
She knows she can get most dudes but she mustnīt know about you
If you screw this all up and then lose all your cool thats when she ends up liking you as a friend
Youīre not playing at hard to get
Youīre playing at not getting a hard-on yet

Itīs a war of the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn īcause sheīs clever
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab
But itīs multiplied by how little of you she can have

And you wanna know what, listen..

The answer is to get close enough to her but listen the next thing you just totally blank her
You think iīm fucking mad donīt ya but i donīt shag on my own
Get somewhere close to the lamb but then glance and turn to the man
You need to get near to the lamb but she doesnīt want to feel cramped
Instead of cowering up to the hostile lamb bowl up to the trusting man
Itīs much easier talking to him, he doesnīt suspect you want anything

Just tell him something like
Did you know cigarette lighters were invented before matches?
Itīs abc making a he break with glee
īCos he isnīt suspicious youīre trying to muscle into his misses
Do you know what iīm talking about thatīs why iīm talking about

Itīs a war of the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn īcause sheīs clever
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab
But itīs multiplied by how little of you she can have

The woman is a highly socially-practised
Master in body language, dab-handed actress
Sheīs calculating all the mad facts and the figures
While youīre pretending to listen staring at her tits

Itīs a war of the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn īcause sheīs clever
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab
But itīs multiplied by how little of you she can have

Itīs a war of the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn īcause sheīs clever
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab
But itīs multiplied by how little of you she can have

Elementary, my dear cousin, elementary
I cannot state this enough
She must not clock your flop
You canīt placard your march
Your threws seclude your moves
Or youīre colluding well weapon

Itīs a war of the sexes never get it blud
I beg that you learn īcause sheīs clever
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab
But itīs multiplied by how little of you she can have

And remember not to get hammered either
īCause people who get hammered donīt get to nail
