Innocent Man — текст песни (SherriГ© Austin)

(Kent Agee/Will Rambeaux)

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
