Typical Male Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me lawyer what to do
I think I'm falling in love with you
Defend me from the way I feel
Won't you give me some advice
On how to handle my private life
I'm sure that we can make a deal
I confess I'm a fool for men
With a clever mind
But your intellect ain't no match
For this heart of mine

[Chorus]
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough of to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

[Verse 2]
Your sense of justice I'll embrace
But your defense don't help my case
I'm deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey lawyer got to catch me when I fall
Oh they say that you match your wits
With the best of them
But I know when I'm close you're just
Like the rest of them
[Chorus]
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough of to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

[Bridge]
So put your books aside
Loosen off the suit and tie
And open up your heart and let me in
Now open up your heart and let me in

[Chorus]
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough of to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

[Bridge]
The reaction
I'm just using my feminine charm
On a typical male, on a typical

[Chorus]
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough of to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
[Outro]
A little reaction
I'm just using my female attraction

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
