Gee, it's great to be absolutely free
No one orders me around
The girls have always found
I simply won't be bound
Now I have a fear, romance may be near
And you're the one to blame, my dear

I have always been a sort of woman hater
And I never met the girl I'd cater to
I considered every girl an agitator
Outside of you

Look at Cleopatra and Madame du Barry
They were pretty bad if history is true
And I never saw the girl that I would marry
Outside of you

I won't deny the fact that I 
Thought women were all cursed
But now my hate has turned to love
I don't know which is worse

Now I envy every rug you put your foot on
Every little looking glass you look into
And I'm jealous of the pretty dress you put on
Outside of you

(Orchestral Interlude)

I won't deny the fact that I 
Thought women were all cursed
But now my hate has turned to love
I don't know which is worse

So if you don't mind the fuss and all the bother
I would like to have a wife, a kid or two
And they should resemble no one but their father
Outside of you
