Ladies Lyrics

[Intro]
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies

[Verse 1]
Ruminations on the looming effects of the parallax view
And the figure and the form and the revolving door
That keeps turning out more and more good women like you
Yet another woman under whom I won't get through
Ruminations on the looming effects of the parallax view
And the figure and the form and the revolving door
That keeps turning out more and more good women like you
Yet another woman under whom I won't get through

[Verse 2]
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies! Take it easy!
When he leaves me, please be my guest
To whatever I might have left in his kitchen cupboards
In the back of his bathroom cabinets

[Verse 3]
And oh yes, oh yes, oh yes!
There's a dress in the closet
Don't get rid of it, you'd look good in it
I didn't fit in it, it was never mine
It belonged to the ex-wife of another ex of mine
She left it behind with a note
One line that said:
"I don't know if I'm coming across, but I'm really trying"
She was very kind

[Chorus]
Ooh, man
Cuter than a button, mutton head maniac
Ooh, man
Cuter than a button, mutton head maniac

[Bridge 1]
Nobody can replace anybody else
So it would be a shame to make it a competition
And no other love is like any other love
So it would be insane to make a comparison with you

[Verse 1]
Ruminations on the looming effects and the parallax view
And the figure and the form and the revolving door
That keeps turning out more and more good women like you
Yet another woman under whom I won't get through
Ruminations on the looming effects of the parallax view
And the figure and the form and the revolving door
That keeps turning out more and more good women like you
Yet another woman under whom I won't get through

[Chorus 2]
Ooh
Cuter than a button, mutton head maniac

[Intro]
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies

[Bridge 2]
And no love is like any other love
So it would be insane to make a comparison with you

[Intro]
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies

[Outro]
Yet another woman under whom I won't get through
Yet another woman under whom I won't get through
Yet another woman under whom I won't get through
Yet another woman under whom I won't get through
Yet another woman to whom I won't get through

Cover art for Ladies lyrics by Fiona Apple

I take ladies to be about women who used to be like “my boyfriends new bitchy girlfriend” realizing they are all just women who have unjust hatred towards each other (likely from internalized misogyny) but the repeating of ladies ladies ladies is like telling women to sit down “Ladies ladies calm it down!” that’s just me but i like to imagine it like that.
