The Safety Net
He watches lovers leap,
Keeps one eye open when you sleep,
He is still water that runs deep,
The safety net...
He's the one that screens your calls,
He is the footstep in your hall,
He kills the pride before you fall,
The safety net...
Boys will be boys, girls will be chased,
And parents go on the defensive,
They scream that their daughter should have better taste,
And deny that they're being offensive...
He will snap up every kiss,
He takes what you can't resist,
You're the reason he exists,
The safety net...
If only your boyfriend could find a job,
If only he worked every night,'
If only his parents both had the same name,
If only they were white...
BRIDGE,
Boys will be boys, girls will be chaste,'.
And parents get over protective,
To rescue a daughtert hat's going to waste,
They send for a private detective...
He's the price your parents pay,'
To find a love that's gone astray,
Where money has the final say,
The safety net... The safety net...
Keeps one eye open when you sleep,
He is still water that runs deep,
The safety net...
He's the one that screens your calls,
He is the footstep in your hall,
He kills the pride before you fall,
The safety net...
Boys will be boys, girls will be chased,
And parents go on the defensive,
They scream that their daughter should have better taste,
And deny that they're being offensive...
He will snap up every kiss,
He takes what you can't resist,
You're the reason he exists,
The safety net...
If only your boyfriend could find a job,
If only he worked every night,'
If only his parents both had the same name,
If only they were white...
BRIDGE,
Boys will be boys, girls will be chaste,'.
And parents get over protective,
To rescue a daughtert hat's going to waste,
They send for a private detective...
He's the price your parents pay,'
To find a love that's gone astray,
Where money has the final say,
The safety net... The safety net...
