[Verse 1]

Break my heart
[Chorus]
Man on the prowl

Looking for trouble
So look out, look out
I'm a man on the prowl
[Verse 2]
I don't want to be a rock and roll steady
I just want to be low down trash
I wanna go to the movies
All I wanna do is sit on my ass
So honey, come home
Don't leave me when I am
Feeling so lonely
[Pre-Chorus]
Come home, come home
If you don't you are going
To break my heart
[Chorus]
Man on the prowl
You better watch out
I'm on the loose and I'm
Looking for trouble
So look out, look out
'Cause I'm a man on the prowl

But it ain't gonna get me nowhere
I gotta teach my baby dancing
But I am not Fred Astaire
[Outro]
So baby look out
I am a man on the prowl
Look out
Man on the prowl, yeah, yeah
Baby, baby, baby look out
Man on the prowl
Baby come home
I am on the loose and I'm
Looking for trouble
Baby come home, oh yeah
'Cause I am a man on the prowl
So honey come home, come home
'Cause I am a man on the prowl, yeah
Man on the prowl, yeah, hey
Steady there
Loosen up, whoo!
Wow!
