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
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
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 thte wall
I stand accused of bein´
Some kind of liar
Hey I wouldn´t hose you down
If you were on fire

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 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 bit too tight
Now babe whata can I tell you
You just ain´t right

Ain't got a baad 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
You know better
´Cause it´s no big deal
I ain´t gettin´ a little
On thte side
Baby what can I tell you
You just ain´t right
