Grown up kid sees a woman in her prime

Not looking for a hand out, she’s getting on fine

Eyes to the ground, says he’ll help her around

But hand to God he wants to shake her down

Underneath his head all through the night

Keep ‘em under your wing, let go mid flight

You ain’t good and this ain’t right
