PRETENDERS - Walk Like a Panther lyrics

rate me

Marie has set up home

with a man who's half my age

a half-wit in a leotard

stands on my stage

The standards have fallen

my value has dropped

but don't shed a tear

some walk like they own the place

whilst others creep in fear

Try if you can

to walk like a man

but if you don't come near

you've got to fly like an eagle

prowl like a lion in Africa

leap like a salmon home from the sea

to keep up with me

you've got to walk like a panther tonight

The old home town just looks the same

like a derelict man who has died out of shame

like a jumble sale left out in the rain

it's not good

it's not right

The standards have fallen

my value has dropped

but don't shed a tear

some walk like they own the place

whilst others creep in fear

Try if you can

to walk like a man

but if you don't come near

you've got to fly like an eagle

prowl like a lion in Africa

leap like a salmon home from the sea

to keep up with me

you've got to walk like a panther tonight

Where did you leave your self respect

you like look like a reptile

your house is a wreck

your existence an insult

and stains that are suspect

cover your clothes

The standards have fallen

my value has dropped

but don't shed a tear

some walk like they own the place

whilst others creep in fear

Try if you can

to walk like a man

but if you don't come near

you've got to fly like an eagle

prowl like a lion in Africa

leap like a salmon home from the sea

to keep up with me

you've got to walk like a panther tonight

walk like a panther tonight

to keep up with me you've got to walk like a panther...
