Well it's spring in the air again
   And you know it affects young men
   For their fancy seems to turn
   And their passion starts to burn
   That's a thing we all learn
  
   Our fancy turns to the one idea
   Young ladies think about for the whole of the year
   As the sun gets hotter the blue skies clear
   And whoops! Those pretty young things appear
   At times like this I'm acutely aware
   Of the fact that I'm just not getting my share
   I'm a really great guy and it doesn't seem fair to me!
  
   I wish I had a way with women
   What a way to be
   What a way to waste your waking hours
   What a fantasy
   'Cause I'm a Romeo, I'm a gigolo
   I'm a Casanova, can't you see
   That I wish I had a way with the women
   The way women have a way with me
  
   Well I spent me the whole year long
   In search of wine, women and song
   But savior faire and je ne sais quoi
   Were the things I lacked and I never got far
   Till I got a guitar
  
   Now the girls come running when I play my licks
   I'm a real lounge lizard, I'm a snake for the chicks
   I'm a paperback lover, I'm a laid-back mother
   But I still can't seem to get my kicks
   For as soon as I put my guitar down
   I get all tongue-tied, can't make a sound
   And the words won't come and it doesn't seem fair to me!
  
   I wish I had a way with women
   What a way to be
   What a way to waste your waking hours
   What a fantasy
   'Cause I'm a Romeo, I'm a gigolo
   I'm a Casanova, can't you see
   That I wish I had a way with the women
   The way women have a way with me
  
   At times like this I'm acutely aware
   Of the fact that I'm just not getting my share
   I'm a really great guy and it doesn't seem fair to me!
  
   I wish I had a way with women
   What a way to be
   What a way to waste your waking hours
   What a fantasy
   'Cause I'm a Romeo, I'm a gigolo
   I'm a Casanova, can't you see
   That I wish I had a way with the women
   The way women have a way with me
   I wish I had a way with the women
   The way women have a way with me
   I wish I had a way with the women
   The way women have a way with me!
