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
