Lyrics
Man Around The House
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Not a violent person, even heavens do get scared,
Lightning strikes around my heart, somethings coming near,
Never loved a soldier-man in a mail-man uniform,
Catch a burglar in my arms, has tipped off my alarm.
Man around the house,
Man around the house.
Listen to the music, to distract me from my fears,
Then I feel a sudden rush, and the lights dissapear,
Never loved a fisher-man in a police uniform,
Catch a burglar in my arms, has tipped off my alarm.
Man around the house,
Man around the house.
Like a reacurring dream, thats goin' round my head,
Guess I need security, when I'm sleepin' in my bed,
Never loved a fisher-man in a mail-man uniform,
Catch a burglar in my arms, has tipped off my alarm.
Man around the house, be a perfect solution,
Man around the house, he aint' my husband.
Call the police,
Your'e bigger than I am, shit,
The telephone, call the God-damn police,
What'd ya' mean your'e scared?
I'm scared too, I'm not goin' down there!
Uh-uh, I'm stayin' right here,I'm gonna lock my door,
Don't turn on the lights, God, don't turn on the lights!
He might see us, you can't go out there with no clothes on,
Are you crazy, put some clothes on, don't be a fool, coward!
I'm not scared, he's not gonna' catch me in here without any
clothes on,
I'm gonna put on my clothes, do you have a flash light?
Where's the flash light? Turn the lights on, I need a flash
light,
He's tryin' the back door, sshhh!
