Got Your Mind in the Gutter Lyrics

What's a man to do when he's bein' accused
I hear you talkin', it's real bad news
Nothin' happened with that girl last night
So, baby, won't you tell me why

You got your mind in the gutter
You got your mind in the gutter
You're jumpin' to conclusions and it's plain to see
You got your mind in the gutter, baby, don't blame me

So you say I'm foolin' 'round, playin' the field
Baby, let me tell you it's no big deal
No, I ain't gettin' a little on the side
But I feel like a prisoner with both hands tied

You say you found a number on a matchbook in my coat
And lipstick smeared on my shirt
Well, I hate to disappoint you and it scares me to death
That if your shovel ain't full you just keep diggin' up some dirt

You've pushed me into a corner
You've got my back to the wall
I stand accused of bein' some kind of liar
Hey, I wouldn't hose you down if you were on fire

You got your mind in the gutter
You got your mind in the gutter
Baby, I keep those women far away from my skin
But since your mind's in the gutter, man, I just can't win

I took her aside to give her my point of view
What you tryin' to pull, babe, it just ain't true
There should be a warnin' up above your cage
Sayin' don't feed the lion, she's in a state of rage

How can I prove that I've done nothin' wrong
You know in your heart that you're all that I want
You're all fired up just a little too tight
Now, babe, what can I tell you, you just ain't right

Ain't got a bad reputation
So why you tearin' it down
Don't know what happened but your mind's gone south
No, I can't believe what comes out of your mouth

You've got your mind in the gutter
You've got your mind in the gutter
I know what you're sayin' but it just ain't true
You've got your mind in the gutter, baby, shame on you

So you say I'm foolin' 'round, playin' the field
No better, this is no big deal
I ain't gettin' a little on the side
Baby, what can I tell you, you just ain't right

You've got your mind in the gutter
You've got your mind in the gutter
Baby, I keep those women far away from my skin
But still your mind's in the gutter, man, I just can't win

Mind in the gutter
You've got your mind in the gutter
I know what you're sayin' but it just ain't true
You've got your mind in the gutter, baby, shame on you

So you say I'm foolin' 'round, playin' the field
Baby, let me tell you it's no big deal
I ain't gettin' a little on the side
What can I tell you, you just ain't right
