Standin' in line at the grocery, starin' 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, 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, lie down with an innocent man
Lie down with an innocent man
