I walked down the street like a nice girl should,
A keen man followed like I thought he would.
This keen man whoever he may be.
Listen while I tell you what he did to me.

I went in the house like a nice girl should.
The keen man followed like I thought he would.
This keen man, etc.

I turned on the lights like a nice girl should.
He turned them off like I thought he would.
This keen man, etc.

1 got into bed like a nice girl should.
The keen man followed like I thought he would.
This keen man, etc.

I waited nine months like a nice girl should.
He left town like I thought he would.
This keen man whoever he may be.
It's none of your damn business what he did to me.
