Girl in my ear, I gotta tell her to: ease off
Man, I ain't saying I'm scared, but I don't wanna get her pissed off
Plus, I've got a woman who ain't messing around to squeeze off
If you got a good thing, they say: don't spoil it
Tension's brewing, and I don't really wanna boil it
Got a whole bunch of girls in your bed, you might ruin it!
You might come back home and find she wants to check out your private!

Easy there, Mr. Gold!
What a sweet joy to wake up in the morning
After spending the whole night with my darling
My pager goes off, and she wonders: Who's calling?
Look on her face, I already took that as the warning
Now when a woman starts getting too protective
Gotta try to figure out her objective
Better make sure your argument's effective
Real old detective, she won't stop playing Sherlock
