Middle Of The Road
Pretenders


Ooooh
Oooh
Ooooh
The middle of the road
Is trying to find me
I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me
I got a smile
For Everyone I meet
Long as you don't try draggin my baby
Or dropping a bomb on my street
Oh Come on baby, get in the road
C'mon now, in the middle of the road, yeah
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
In the middle of the road
You see the darndest things
Like fat guys driving around in jeeps through the city
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits
There's corrugated tin shacks full up with kids
So I don't need a hampstead nursery
When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world
The babies just come with the scenery
Ah C'mon baby, mmmm get in the road
C'mon now, in the middle of the road, yeah
(Instrumental)

The middle of the road
Is no privated cul-de-sac
I can't get from the cab to the curb
Without some little jerk on my back
Don't harrass me can't you tell
I'm goin' home, I'm tired as hell
I'm not the cat I used to be, I got a kid, I'm 33 baby
Get in the road
C'mon Now, in the middle of the road
Brrrr rrr
