Innocent Man Lyrics - Singles - Sherrié Austin

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, oh lie down with an innocent man 

I don't need a strong man's protection 

No 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, oh 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 

Yeah 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 

Lie down with an innocent man, oh lie down with an innocent man 

Lie down with an innocent man
