Songtext Man around the house Grace Jones

Man around the house

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 Im 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,
Youre bigger than I am, shit,
The telephone, call the god-damn police,
Whatd ya mean youre scared?
Im scared too, Im not goin down there!
Uh-uh, Im stayin right here,Im gonna lock my door,
Dont turn on the lights, god, dont turn on the lights!
He might see us, you cant go out there with no clothes on,
Are you crazy, put some clothes on, dont be a fool, coward!
Im not scared, hes not gonna catch me in here without any clothes on,
Im gonna put on my clothes, do you have a flash light?
Wheres the flash light? turn the lights on, I need a flash light,
Hes tryin the back door, sshhh!
