Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woo!
[Verse 2]
Be a man, can a mystery man
Be a doll, be a baby doll
It can't be fun, not anyway
It can't be found no way at all
A distant man can't sympathize
He can't uphold his distant laws
Due to form on that today
I got a feeling, then I hear this call
[Verse 3]
I said, neat neat neat, she can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat, she can't afford no gun at all
Neat neat neat, she can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat, she ain't got no name to call
Neat neat neat
[Verse 4]
No crime if there ain't no law
No cops left to mess you around
No more dreams of mystery chords
No more sight to bring you down
I got a crazy kind of thought in my mind
My mind's on when she falls asleep
Feelin' time in a restless time
Then these words upon me creep
[Verse 5]
I said, neat neat neat, she can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat, she can't afford no gun at all
Neat neat neat, she can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat, she ain't got no name to call
Neat neat neat
[Verse 6]
Be a man, can a mystery man
Be a doll, be a baby doll
It can't be fun, not anyway
It can't be found no way at all
A distant man can't sympathize
Can't uphold his distant laws
And due to form on that today
I got a feelin', then I hear this call
[Verse 7]
I said, neat neat neat, she can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat, she can't afford no gun at all
Neat neat neat, she can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat, she ain't got no name to call
Neat neat neat, she can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat, she ain't got no name to call
Neat neat neat, she can't afford no cannon
Neat neat neat, she ain't got no name to call
Neat neat neat
