Ladies Man
Changing Faces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, for a second there I thought that I was
Was the only one whose man put
His car before his girl,
Put his friends before the relationship,
But i guess these are the things we have to deal with huh?
Stood me up for the thousandth time ( thousandth time)
He was crazy busy at the studio.
I wanted to key his car, cut his his clothes,
I wanted him to die.
But then he stepped in for a second
And hit it and he made it alright.
[Chorus]
He's a ladies man
A play boy
A smooth talking dough trickin'
Hoe pimpin
Gotta go gotta go type of ni--a
Uses the same excuse
Knows every trick in the book
He ain't no good
But I love this man
[Repeat: x 2]
Any girl would probably say that I'm a fool,
Girl don't trip 'cause you know that it done happened to you,
You done ran into a guy that had your head all messed up,
Got ya comin out your clothes, talk you out your drawles,
And never fall in love.
[Chorus: x 2]
I know he got another girl ( I know)
I know he anit always at work (what kind of work in the world?)
I know he really got the pay ( he was working studio)
I know about the game he plays ( I know)
I acted like I didn't know
Sometimes you gotta play the role ( ya gotta play the role)
Never made me feel like I'm a hoe
But he made me feel like I'm number one ( number one)
[Chorus: x 2]
Don't know why I love him like I do [Repeat: x 2]
But I do (I do, I do)
[Chorus until fade]
The song Ladies Man by Changing Faces is about a woman who is in love with a man who prioritizes his car and friends over her. The first verse of the song highlights the common issue of men neglecting their partners for their interests. The woman is frustrated that her man stood her up for the thousandth time, and he gives the excuse that he was busy at the studio. She expresses that she wanted to hurt him but eventually forgives him when he takes the time to apologise.
The chorus of the song portrays the man as a ladies' man - a player who is smooth-talking and manipulative. He uses the same excuses and tricks to get his way with women, and while the women know he is no good, they still love him. The second verse reveals that the woman knows that her man is not faithful, but she chooses to ignore the reality and play her role in the relationship. She acknowledges that the man never made her feel like a hoe but instead made her feel like she was number one.
The song draws attention to the toxic relationships that exist between men and women, where the man is always in control, and the woman is willing to put up with anything to keep him. The lyrics resonate with people who have experienced similar relationships, where they are not valued, but they continue to hold on to something that is not good for them.
