I heard you creeping round my window
I know you're hanging round my back door
I don't know what you're waiting for
I don't know what you're waiting for
I know you're trying hard to come down
And find me when I'm on my own
I know you have my future sown
Even though you're fully grown
Do I have to change my ways and say I'll never do it again?
Count the days until you set me free?
Do I have to let you people walk all over me (No)
Well you've been talking with the lady
Yeah, she's been telling you to move yourselves
She's telling you to prove yourselves
She's asking us to run like hell
Well I can see you in your plain clothes
Yeah, standing by the lake
Stop fooling round for Heaven's sake
Yeah, you know I have a living to make
Do I have to change my ways and say I'll never do it again?
Count the days until you set me free?
Do I have to let you people walk all over me (No)
Well I've been here such a long time
Yeah, and I've been waiting for a chance to greet you
Oo, I've been waiting for a chance to meet you
Just what can I say to hold you down
You know it's hard to find somebody
Who isn't so afraid
You got me shaking like a leaf
Just what can I do to bring relief
Do I have to change my ways and say I'll never do it again?
Count the days until you set me free?
Do I have to let you people walk all over me (No)
Well I can see the sun is rising
It's lighting up your face
And in my lining there's a trace
I don't believe in wasting space
It's time to pack up my kimona
And move on down the line
Pack away my patent leather shoes
Yeah, pack away my patent leather blues
Do I have to change my ways and say I'll never do it again?
Count the days until you set me free?
Do I have to let you people walk all over me (No)
