Sherrie Austin - Innocent Man lyrics

rate me

Standing in line at the grocery

Staring back at the trash magazines

Martians say earth girls are lonely

Well that's no news to me

In the parking lot I saw two cowboys

Fighting for a handicapped space

So what is a girl to do now boys

To make sense of this place

There's too much wrong in the world tonight

Too much I can't understand

I wanna board up these windows

And turn out these lights

And lie down with an innocent man

Lie down with an innocent man

I don't need a strong man's protection

I don't want a faithless man's love

Just a little respect and affection

Would be more than enough

Cause I've been shot down by love's aimless arrows

And I've shot a few wild ones myself

But these days the choices are narrow

And you've got to aim well

There's too much wrong in the world tonight

Too much I can't understand

I wanna board up these windows

And turn out these lights

And lie down with an innocent man

Lie down with an innocent man

I've been holding my heart like a lantern

Looking out for just one honest face

All the noise out there won't matter

If I can trust in just one quiet place

There's too much wrong in the world tonight

Too much I can't understand

I wanna board up these windows

And turn out these lights

And lie down with an innocent man

Lie down with an innocent man
