The Streets lyrics - War Of The Sexes

album: The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006)
genre:

I dream that one day i'll have a child 
And that child will say to me "dad, what was war?" 
But it's not going to happen 

It's a war of the sexes never get it blud 
I beg that you learn 'cause she's clever 
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab 
But it's 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 i'm hammering, this fact is gonna matter 
What little you think you're letting by her sly 
She senses you're 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 don't close in after 
She knows she can get most dudes but she mustn't 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 
You're not playing at hard to get 
You're playing at not getting a hard-on yet 

It's a war of the sexes never get it blud 
I beg that you learn 'cause she's clever 
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab 
But it's 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 i'm fucking mad don't ya but i don't 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 doesn't want to feel cramped 
Instead of cowering up to the hostile lamb bowl up to the trusting man 
It's much easier talking to him, he doesn't suspect you want anything 

Just tell him something like 
Did you know cigarette lighters were invented before matches? 
It's abc making a he break with glee 
'Cos he isn't suspicious you're trying to muscle into his misses 
Do you know what i'm talking about that's why i'm talking about 

It's a war of the sexes never get it blud 
I beg that you learn 'cause she's clever 
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab 
But it's multiplied by how little of you she can have 

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

It's a war of the sexes never get it blud 
I beg that you learn 'cause she's clever 
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab 
But it's multiplied by how little of you she can have 

It's a war of the sexes never get it blud 
I beg that you learn 'cause she's clever 
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab 
But it's 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 can't placard your march 
Your threws seclude your moves 
Or you're colluding well weapon 

It's a war of the sexes never get it blud 
I beg that you learn 'cause she's clever 
How attracted to you she is is partly your gab 
But it's multiplied by how little of you she can have 

And remember not to get hammered either 
'Cause people who get hammered don't get to nail
