Lyrics Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

Security

I know what you want

I know what you need

A girl can live on just sweet nothins

Security, she's got to have security

Something she can show 'em for all her time

All her time

A nice big rock

Or just that little ring

Your sweet talking don't mean a thing

Security, she got to, got to have it

Security, the girl really needs it

Against the day when love starts its long decline

She don't want to wake up

Poor and destitute

She knows how love goes

It's never absolute

You might swear she could never be replaced

And she'll believe you, but just in case

She'll need a piece of the rock

If you decide to roll

The girls got insurance that she can consult

Security, she got to keep on looking smart

Security, little checks from the heart

You're drunk with love but you gotta

Sober up sometime, don't ya?

You might tell the truth

You might be a liar

She don't know it so she'll require

Security, your heart is running a race

Security, hers beats a nice, steady pace

Your cold, wet feet will get plenty of time to dry

All she wants is

S-E-C-U-R-I-T and a Y
