Well I walked out into the shadows
Just as the clock was striking nine
I was looking for a good girl but
Somehow I ended up with mine

She's got footprints all around her window
She's got scratch marks all down her beck
She tells me I'm the only one
But I don't believe that it's a fact

I wish I was some kind of hero
I'd shake my head and walk away
I'd have fifty women waiting
Before the breaking of the day

Early in the morning I see her coming
Walking sideways in her shoes
She'll do anything she has to
Just to keep her man confused

I wish I was some kind of hero
I would not worry, I'd turn and go
You'd be looking at my picture babe
I'd be somewhere down the road
