Lyrics
[Verse 1] Yes, the gal I got I swear she’s the screaming end She wants me to be a hero So she can tell all her friends [Verse 2] Well, she begged, she cried She pleaded with me all last night Well, she begged, she cried She pleaded with me all last night She wants me to go out And find somebody to fight [Verse 3] She reads too many books She got new movies inside her head She reads too many books She got movies inside her head She wants me to walk out running She wants me to crawl back dead [Verse 4] You need a different kinda man, babe One that can grab and hold your heart Need a different kind of man, babe One that can hold and grab your heart You need a different kind of man, babe You need Napoleon Boneeparte [Verse 5] Well, when I’m dead No more good times will I crave When I’m dead No more good times will I crave You can stand and shout hero All over my lonesome grave
