I heard you creeping round my window I know you're hanging round my back door I don't know what you're waiting for I don't know what you're waiting for
I know you're trying hard to come down And find me when I'm on my own I know you have my future sown Even though you're fully grown
Do I have to change my ways and say I'll never do it again? Count the days until you set me free? Do I have to let you people walk all over me (No)
Well you've been talking with the lady Yeah, she's been telling you to move yourselves She's telling you to prove yourselves She's asking us to run like hell
Well I can see you in your plain clothes Yeah, standing by the lake Stop fooling round for Heaven's sake Yeah, you know I have a living to make
Do I have to change my ways and say I'll never do it again? Count the days until you set me free? Do I have to let you people walk all over me (No)
Well I've been here such a long time Yeah, and I've been waiting for a chance to greet you Oo, I've been waiting for a chance to meet you Just what can I say to hold you down
You know it's hard to find somebody Who isn't so afraid You got me shaking like a leaf Just what can I do to bring relief
Do I have to change my ways and say I'll never do it again? Count the days until you set me free? Do I have to let you people walk all over me (No)
Well I can see the sun is rising It's lighting up your face And in my lining there's a trace I don't believe in wasting space
It's time to pack up my kimona And move on down the line Pack away my patent leather shoes Yeah, pack away my patent leather blues
Do I have to change my ways and say I'll never do it again? Count the days until you set me free? Do I have to let you people walk all over me (No)
