Man Next Door Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a man that lived next door
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
And he gets me down
He gets in so late at night
Always a fuss and fight
Always a fuss and fight
All through the night

[Chorus]
I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
And find a quiet place

[Verse 2]
Hear the pots and pans, they fall
Bang against the wall
Bang against the wall
No rest at all
He gets in so late at night
Always a fuss and fight
Always a fuss and fight
All through the night

[Chorus]
I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
And find a quiet place

[Post-Chorus]
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip

[Verse 3]
There's a man that lived next door
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
And he gets me down
He gets in so late at night
Always a fuss and fight
Always a fuss and fight
All through the night

[Outro]
Gotta get away
Oh, ah
Oh, ah, ah
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip...
