Security

by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes





I know what you want

I know what you need

A girl can't live on just sweet nothin's

Security, she gotta have security

Something she can show off for all her time



A nice big rock

or just that little ring

your sweet talkin'

don't mean a thing

Security, she got to, got to have it

Security, the girl really needs it

Against the day when love starts its long decline



Just figurin' to herself

that she don't wake up poor and destitute

she knows how love goes, its never absolute

you might swear she could never be replaced

She'll believe you, but just in case



She'll need a piece of the rock if you decide to roll

the girl's got insurance that you can't control

Security

She got to keep on lookin' smart

Security

Little checks from the heart

You're drunk with love but you gotta sober up sometime (now dontcha?)



You might tell the truth, you might be a liar

She don't know it, so she'll require

Security

Your heart is runnin a race

Security

This beats a nice steady pace

cold wet feet'll get plenty of time to dry

cause all she wants is S-E-C-U-R-I-T-Y
