Karen Lehner Circus Man Lyrics

Circus Man Lyrics

Ladies I require your attention
Before you step into his parlor like a fly
Your sweet innocence has filled me with
a cold apprehension
I don`t want to hear your heart break and cry

If you can learn from the lessons of another
Then I pray, I pray that you will learn from mine
I was once like you - content
That is until I met
The muscle man that caught me with this line
He said,"Hey Baby, I`m a Circus Man,
If you know what I mean.
Yeah, Baby I`m a Circus Man.
I`ll take you higher than your wildest dreams."

Well I guess I should have run away right then
But then he smiled at me and gently took my hand
And he was wearin` those tights
Ya know, that fit him just right
And I could measure how this evenin` might end

And then he took me to his place
beneath the moonlight
And he wrapped his arms around me just so
Then I was wearin` this thing
Ya know with a couple of rings
And he was sayin` "Baby, now I`ll never let you go.
Oh no, cause I`m a Circus Man...."

So he took me to his loft, his little play ground
And he pulled me close beside him, just us two
I thought, `How kinky can you get,
I mean he`s even got a net.`
And I was wond`rin` what he wanted me to do

I`m ashamed I guess to tell you all what happened
I was a victim of desire then and there
He had me hangin` from my knees
I was beggin` "Baby, baby please!"
Next thing I know I`m makin` circles in the air
Right there for my Circus Man
If you know what I mean
Oh yeah he`s a Circus Man
He`ll take you higher than your wildest dreams

Look, my mama never told me it could be like this
Yeah, I never ever heard her say
That all the muscles men develop
They can keep so stiff
That you just can`t pull away
Hey, it`s literally impossible

I`d like to tell you that I kept 
some sort of distance
That I was never just a play things for his charms
But then he said that word
Hep was all I heard
And I let go and I flew into his arms
The arms of a Circus Man...

Now, I admit that I was happy there beneath him
In fact, I never felt so satisfied so fine
But when he started to let go
I wasn`t ready and I said,"No!"
But he said, "Sorry, there`s another girl in line."

And as he pulled away I tumbled, tumbled downward
I felt so cheated but I really could not blame
For I know deep in my mind
Hey, a hard man`s good to find
But it`s something that they never can sustain
Not even a Circus Man, if you know what I mean
Oh yeah, he`s a Circus Man
Who`ll take you higher than your wildest dreams

And I`ve met some Circus Men
And made them MY Circus Men
And all of those Circus Men
Took me higher than my wildest dreams
