lyrics

he was born with a fever / he was born with an itch
he was born with a knack for striking it rich
but he lost all his money, he lost everything he owns
'cause he can't leave the ladies alone

he fell down from heaven with lightening in his head
a hip flask of single malt, an angel in his bed
but he lost the pedigree to which he was born
'cause he can't leave the ladies alone

chorus
he can't leave the ladies alone, sweet jesus
said he can't leave the ladies alone
you know he lost everything
he lost everything he owns
but he can't leave the ladies alone

well, is it a gift, or is it a curse?
is it creation or something much worse?
god put it in him, but i swear it's going to burst
he can't leave the ladies alone

he tells a little story, he does a little dance
there's a little trick he does with a monkey in his pants
god knows he's a thoroughbred right to the bone
and he can't leave the ladies alone

chorus

got one at the race track, he's got one at the bar
he's got one in a high rise, another on a farm
he's got one that's mobile, he gets her on the phone
he can't leave the ladies alone

that jazz singer, she's passing thru town
that CBC reporter, she's got to get down
that african princess is carved out of bone
man, he can't leave the ladies alone

chorus

he bought a country lodge, with cabins by the lake
he'd rise in the morning, he'd wake and he'd bake
his wife ran to get him, "the plumber's on the phone"
well he was flushing the main line and he wasn't alone

he was born with a fever / he was born with an itch
he was born with a knack for striking it rich
but he lost all his money, he lost everything he owns
man, he can't leave the ladies alone

chorus
