Walk Like A Panther Lyrics - Pretenders

Miguel has set up home 

With a woman half my age 

A half-wit in a leotard 

Stands on my stage 

The standards have fallen 

My value has dropped 

But don't shed a tear 

Some walk like they own the place 

Whilst others creep in fear 

Try if you can 

To walk like a man 

But if you don't come near 

You've got to fly like an eagle 

Prowl like a lion in Africa 

Leap like a salmon home from the sea 

To keep up with me 

You've got to walk like a panther tonight 

The old home town just looks the same 

Like a derelict man who has died out of shame 

Like a jumble sale left out in the rain 

It's not good 

It's not right 

The standards have fallen 

My value has dropped 

But don't shed a tear 

Some walk like they own the place 

Whilst others creep in fear 

Try if you can 

To walk like a man 

But if you don't come near 

You've got to fly like an eagle 

Prowl like a lion in Africa 

Leap like a salmon home from the sea 

To keep up with me 

You've got to walk like a panther tonight 

Where did you leave your self respect 

You like look like a reptile 

Your house is a wreck 

Your existence an insult 

And stains that are suspect 

Cover your clothes 

The standards have fallen 

My value has dropped 

But don't shed a tear 

Some walk like they own the place 

Whilst others creep in fear 

Try if you can 

To walk like a man 

But if you don't come near 

You've got to fly like an eagle 

Prowl like a lion in Africa 

Leap like a salmon home from the sea 

To keep up with me 

You've got to walk like a panther tonight 

Walk like a panther tonight 

To keep up with me you've go
