(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
