[Verse 1]
Get out of my parlour, won't you
Get out of my life
Put on that crazy raincoat
You're gonna need it tonight
Get out of my parlour
'Fore I cut you with a knife
Don't want your disease
Don't need your silly jive
[Chorus]
I was an innocent bystander
I was a middle-of-the-road-man for you
Then you took me for a ride, now baby
Showed me all the things you could do
I always listen to the good looking lady
A mistake I won't make no more
'Cause you might be a good looking lady
But you're rotten to the core
[Verse 2]
I've been under your influence
Under your spell too long
Now people keep me at a distance
Everything I do is wrong
My brain's desintegrating
Devil's singin' my song
This cannot continue
This cannot go on
[Chorus]
I was an innocent bystander
I was a middle-of-the-road-man for you
Then you took me for a ride, now baby
Showed me all the things you could do
I always listen to the good looking lady
A mistake I won't make no more
'Cause you might be a good looking lady
But you're rotten to the core
[Chorus]
I was an innocent bystander
I was a middle-of-the-road-man for you
Then you took me for a ride, now baby
Showed me all the things you could do
I always listen to the good looking lady
A mistake I won't make no more
'Cause you might be a good looking lady
But you're rotten to the core
You're nothing but a long blond animal
Get out of my parlour, won't you
Get out of my life
Put on that crazy raincoat
You're gonna need it tonight
Get out of my parlour
'Fore I cut you with a knife
Don't want your disease
Don't need your silly jive
[Chorus]
I was an innocent bystander
I was a middle-of-the-road-man for you
Then you took me for a ride, now baby
Showed me all the things you could do
I always listen to the good looking lady
A mistake I won't make no more
'Cause you might be a good looking lady
But you're rotten to the core
[Verse 2]
I've been under your influence
Under your spell too long
Now people keep me at a distance
Everything I do is wrong
My brain's desintegrating
Devil's singin' my song
This cannot continue
This cannot go on
[Chorus]
I was an innocent bystander
I was a middle-of-the-road-man for you
Then you took me for a ride, now baby
Showed me all the things you could do
I always listen to the good looking lady
A mistake I won't make no more
'Cause you might be a good looking lady
But you're rotten to the core
[Chorus]
I was an innocent bystander
I was a middle-of-the-road-man for you
Then you took me for a ride, now baby
Showed me all the things you could do
I always listen to the good looking lady
A mistake I won't make no more
'Cause you might be a good looking lady
But you're rotten to the core
You're nothing but a long blond animal
