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 whyYou 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 meSo 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 tiedYou 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 dirtYou'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 fireYou 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 winI 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 rageHow 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 rightAin'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 mouthYou'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 youSo 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 rightYou'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 winMind 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 youSo 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
