Man Next Door
(John Holt)
There is a man that live next door
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
And he gets me down...
I play music late at night
Always a fuss an' fight
Always a fuss an' fight
All tru' the night
A've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
We'll find a quiet place to be
We'll find a quiet place to be
Hear the pots and pans they fall
Bang against my wall
Bang against the wall
No rest at all
I play music late at night
Always a fuss an' fight
Always a fuss an' fight
All tru' the night
I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
We'll find a quiet place to be
We'll find a quiet place to be
