There is a man that live next door In my neighborhood In my neighborhood And he gets me down He gets in so late at night Always a fuss and fight Always a fuss and fight All through the night I've got to get away from here This is not a place for me to stay I've got to take my family We'll find a quiet place Hear the pots and pans they fall Bang against my wall Bang against my wall No rest at all He gets in so late at night Always a fuss and fight Always a fuss and fight All through the night I've got to get away from here This is not a place for me to stay I've got to take my family We'll find a quiet place There is a man that live next door In my neighborhood In my neighborhood And he gets me down He gets in so late at night Always a fuss and fight Always a fuss and fight All through the night Got to get away
