[Verse]
You're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So don't you knock on my door if you don't want an answer
Gimme a beat if you don't want a dancer
[Verse]
I've got my love gun loaded, I've got you in my site
I never take no for an answer, so you'd better say yes tonight
I told you the score right from the start
You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
[Chorus]
So if you don't mean business, knock on someone else's door
'Cause it's a mean, mean business, staying alive if you fool with me
[Verse]
You say you want my money, I say you've got no sense
You just wanna bleed me dry, stay on the side of the fence
No mercy, you can see, seven to eleven made a fool out of me
[Chorus]
So if you don't mean business, knock on someone else's door
'Cause it's a mean, mean business, staying alive if you fool with me
[Verse]
You're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
You might not like what you see
So don't you knock on my door if you don't want an answer
Gimme a beat if you don't want a dancer
[Chorus]
So if you don't mean business, knock on someone else's door
'Cause it's a mean, mean business, staying alive if you fool with me
So if you don't mean business, knock on someone else's door
'Cause it's a mean, mean business, staying alive if you fool with me
