Question
My girlfriends and I have been trying to figure out title and singer of this song. One of our friends is going through an ugly divorce, she would really like it now. We were thinking it was Tanya Tucker, Dolly, Reba, Martina, Patty Loveless, Judds, Trisha. Any of us close?

"Men you can't live with them, you can't live without them and you just can't shoot them"

Thank you for hopefully putting us out of our misery

Answer
Hello Susan,

That song was called "MEN". It was released by The Forester Sisters in 1991.


They buy you dinner, open your door
Other then that, what are they good for?
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men

They all want a girl just like the girl
That married dear old dad, they make me so mad
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men

Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you
You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men

They love their toys, they make their noise
They're nothing but a bunch of overgrown boys
Men! I'm talking 'bout men

If you give 'em what they want, they never fall in love
Don't give 'em nothin' they can't get enough
Men! I'm talking 'bout men

Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you
You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men

In the beginning they always aim to please
They serve a purpose; they fill a need
They ensure survival of the species

They take you for a ride, run out of gas
Most of the time they're a pain in the a-a yeah, yeah
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men

Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you
You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men

Silver tongue devils
Well, they're lying through their teeth
Saying anything
Just to sweep you off your feet.
Ooh yeah, men! talkin' 'bout men
Mere mortal men.


Glad to be of help. Cheers........Mel.
