You're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me,
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So don't you knock on my door
If you don't want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you don't want a dancerI've got my love gun loaded,
I've got you in my sight,
I never take no for an answer,
So you'd better say yes tonight
I told you the score
Right from the start,
You'll never get to heaven
If you break my heartSo if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cause it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with meYou say you want my money,
I say you've got no sense,
If you just want to bleed me dry
Stay on your side of the fence
No mercy you can see
'Cause seven to eleven made a fool out of meSo if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cause it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with meYou're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me,
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So don't you knock on my door
If you don't want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you don't want a dancerSo if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cause it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me
