Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walk a mile in my tennis shoes
Tina Turner gave me the highway blues
But I don't love nobody but you, honey
[Verse 2]
I'm a true rat for the things I done
Second cousin to a son of a gun
I'm gonna wipe out your mama if she puts me on, honey
[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm a midnight creeper
Ain't gonna lose no sleep over you
When there's a nightmare, I'm there
Temptin' you to blow a fuse
[Verse 4]
Well, there's no more sleepin'
When I'm midnight creepin' over you
Watch out, honey, watch out, honey
Watch the things you do
[Verse 5]
Long-haired ladies, well, they look so fine
Locked in my cellar full of cheap red wine
But, I don't think those ladies they really mind, honey
[Verse 6]
I still don't know why you hate me so
A little bit of fun never stopped no show
Well, I just want to loosen up my soul, honey
[Verse 7]
'Cause I'm a midnight creeper
Ain't gonna lose no sleep over you
When there's a nightmare, I'm there
Temptin' you to blow a fuse
[Verse 8]
Well, there's no more sleepin'
When I'm midnight creepin' over you
Watch out, honey, watch out, honey
Watch the things you do
[Verse 9]
Creepin'
[Verse 10]
Oh, creepin'
[Verse 11]
'Cause I'm a midnight creeper
Ain't gonna lose no sleep over you
When there's a nightmare, I'm there
Temptin' you to blow a fuse
[Verse 12]
Well, there's no more sleepin'
When I'm midnight creepin' over you
Watch out, honey, watch out, honey
Watch the things you do
[Verse 13]
Oh, oh, here I'm comin', woo!
