                          DOWN ON MY KNEES

SPOKEN: "Hey man, you got some fine college here. 
All the advantages: ivory walls, lecture halls, 
full dress balls, and you got the cruisers for the 
nasty stuff! , when you get down to the music and 
they're hanging tough, grab a woman, don't mention 
your name coz after tonight she'll never be the same. 
when the lights go out and the clock winds down gonna 
find me a woman and go down town, no hand holding baby, 
who'll nip and tuck I want a girl off the street who 
knows how to F***.

A loaded pistol I'm ready to fire

You know I want you by my side
