Innocent Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I don't need a strong man's protection No, 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 Lie down with an innocent man
