Call me a monster
Well baby, you're a monster too
We've been messing around and now we're back again
Now I'm half past it with an aching hip
I got some lipstick on my collar
While we've been getting it on in someone else's bed
I met a woman I can't control
We've got a tricky situation (yeah yeah yeah)
And it's been going on for too many years now
We've got to save our reputation (yeah yeah yeah)
And get us up, up upon a higher ground
Up on a higher ground
Say I'm a hustler
Well honey, you're a hustler too
There's no limits we've been crossing all the lines
So if you're on your way to see that dick again
I've got a date callin' at the hour
And make your bed light twirl
Come on I'll see you in a week
I won't be home until tomorrow
We've got a tricky situation (yeah yeah yeah)
And it's been going on for too many years now
We've got to save our reputation (yeah yeah yeah)
And get us up, up upon a higher ground
Up on a higher ground
Up on a higher ground
Well I would leave them all to be a loving man
You had moments we should cherish
Before we crash and burn, it might be our turn
To go straight so we don't loose
We've got a tricky situation (yeah yeah yeah)
And it's been going on for too many years now
We've got to save our reputation (yeah yeah yeah)
And get us up, up upon a higher ground
Up on a higher ground
Up on a higher ground
Up on a higher ground
Up on a higher ground
