Circus Man Lyrics - Singles - Karen Lehner

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
