twenty-nine different attributes

And only seven that you like (oh oh)

twenty ways to see the world (oh oh)
B F#
Or twenty ways to start a fight (oh oh)

E
Oh, men don't notice what they got
B F#
Women think of that a lot

A thousand ways to please your man (oh oh)

Not even one requires a plan (I know)

It doesn't matter which you choose (oh no)

One stubborn way to turn your back (oh oh)
B F#
This I've tried, and now refuse (oh oh)
