walk like a panther

Rick Astley

Marie has set up home
With a man who s half my age
A halfwit in a leotard
Stands on my stage
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don t shed a tear

Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you don t come near

You ve got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon home from the sea
To keep up with me
You ve got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight

The old hometown just looks the same
Like a derelict man who had died out of shame
Like a jumble sale left out in the rain
It s not good, it s not right
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don t shed a tear

Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you don t come near

You ve got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon home from the sea
To keep up with me
You ve got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight

Where did you leave all self-respect?
You look like a reptile, your house is a wreck
Your existence an insult
Stains that are suspect cover your clothes
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don t shed a tear

Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you, you don t come near

You ve got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon home from the sea
To keep up with me
You ve got to walk like a panther tonight

Walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight

You ve got to walk like a panther
Walk like a panther tonight

Tonight
Tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
