(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
