Ladies I require your attention Before you step into his parlor like a fly Your sweet innocence has filled me with A cold apprehension I don't want to hear your heart break and cry If you can learn from the lessons of another Then I pray, I pray that you will learn from mine I was once like you - content That is until I met The muscle man that caught me with this line He said,hey baby, I'm a circus man, If you know what I mean. Yeah, baby I'm a circus man. I'll take you higher than your wildest dreams. Well I guess I should have run away right then But then he smiled at me and gently took my hand And he was wearin' those tights Ya know, that fit him just right And I could measure how this evenin' might end And then he took me to his place Beneath the moonlight And he wrapped his arms around me just so Then I was wearin' this thing Ya know with a couple of rings And he was sayin' baby, now I'll never let you go. Oh no, cause I'm a circus man.... So he took me to his loft, his little play ground And he pulled me close beside him, just us two I thought, 'how kinky can you get, I mean he's even got a net.' And I was wond'rin' what he wanted me to do I'm ashamed I guess to tell you all what happened I was a victim of desire then and there He had me hangin' from my knees I was beggin' baby, baby please! Next thing I know I'm makin' circles in the air Right there for my circus man If you know what I mean Oh yeah he's a circus man He'll take you higher than your wildest dreams Look, my mama never told me it could be like this Yeah, I never ever heard her say That all the muscles men develop They can keep so stiff That you just can't pull away Hey, it's literally impossible I'd like to tell you that I kept Some sort of distance That I was never just a play things for his charms But then he said that word Hep was all I heard And I let go and I flew into his arms The arms of a circus man... Now, I admit that I was happy there beneath him In fact, I never felt so satisfied so fine But when he started to let go I wasn't ready and I said,no! But he said, sorry, there's another girl in line. And as he pulled away I tumbled, tumbled downward I felt so cheated but I really could not blame For I know deep in my mind Hey, a hard man's good to find But it's something that they never can sustain Not even a circus man, if you know what I mean Oh yeah, he's a circus man Who'll take you higher than your wildest dreams And I've met some circus men And made them my circus men And all of those circus men Took me higher than my wildest dreams
