Security
Performer(s): Southside Johnny & 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
