Lyrics

There is a man that live next door
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
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
And find a quiet place
Hear the pots and pans they fall
Bang against the wall
Bang against the wall
No rest at all
I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
And find a quiet place
Hear the pots and pans they fall
Bang against the wall
Bang against the wall
No rest at all
I've got to get away now
I've got to get away
I've got to get away now
I've got to get away
...
