Man Around The House - Grace Jones

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 disappear

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 recurring dream, thats goin' round my head

Guess I need security, when I’m 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 ain’t my husband

Call the police

You’re bigger than I am, shit

The telephone, call the God-damn police

What’d ya' mean you’re scared?

I’m scared too, I’m not goin' down there!

Uh-uh, I’m stayin' right here, I'm gonna lock my door

Don’t turn on the lights, God, don’t turn on the lights!

He might see us, you can’t go out there with no clothes on

Are you crazy, put some clothes on, don’t be a fool, coward!

I’m not scared, he’s not gonna' catch me in here without any clothes on

I’m gonna put on my clothes, do you have a flash light?

Where’s the flash light?

Turn the lights on, I need a flash light

He’s tryin' the back door, sshhh!
