Excuse me but may I speak to you for a while?
With that gun in your hand you make my heart beat light.
You don’t like my looks. You don’t like my style.
But Damn I’m feeling sexy tonight.
And I have got to be a looter or a vandal you see,
Because my landlady is coming down hard on me.
I can’t pay attention to the fines, seven years in the pen isn’t what I need.
And I’m gonna be around for the catcall, with four other fellas lined up against the wall.
And I’ll still take you for every last red cent, because I have to pay my rent.

So maybe I shouldn’t say some of the things I say to you,
But I have got to speak my mind.
I’m living in a world that’s full of distractions and for right now girl,
You’ve caught my eye.
But but baby I believe we could be more than strangers because you’ve got it going on.
And I’m sorry we had to meet this way. Yeah it’s a little awkward but it’s not all wrong

Maybe I shouldn’t steal as much as I steal from you,
But I have to take what I can.
I’m roaming like a mad thief through the darkness,
But I tripped the alarm so I guess I’m a sham.
Then you burst out of the bedroom door in your nighty,
Just to see what’s going on.
And I’ve got a bag full of your collectibles. Yeah it’s a little awkward girl, but it’s not all wrong.

Because if I can’t feel what I feel what’s the use in holding on.
You’ve got to couple up the good with the bad and the right with the wrong.
And if I got to leave, well I’m taking as much as I can.
I’m living up the high life while I hide from the streetlights.
And I gotta pay my rent.
