Man With A Mission

Don Henley


I see these women at the car wash; women 
at the mall 
Little-bitty women, and women who are tall 
One of them is perfect and I want her for 
myself 
Never gonna settle for anybody else 
All my good buddies try to fix me up- 
Buddy, I've had enough 
I'm gonna run a few red lights; grind a few 
gears 
Start a few fist fights; drink a few beers 
Even though I'm tryin' every trick in the book 
You gimme drop dead (drop dead), drop 
dead looks 
You the finest woman that I've ever seen 
Why you wanna be so mean? 
Well everybody tries to tell me 
There's nothin' I can do 
But I'm a man with a mission 
Baby you know it's you 
Man with a mission 
Man with a mission 
Man with a mission 
Baby, you know it's you 
Well I'm a Man with a mission 
Man with a mission 
Man with a mission 
Baby, you know it's you-it's you 
Everybody runnin' round here 
Sayin', "Where's the party? Where's the 
party?" 
Sonny-boy, don't ask me, 'cause I don't know 
I got somethin' else on my mind today- 
somewhere else to go 
Well-a, well-a, well-a everybody tries to 
tell me 
There's nothin' I can do 
But I'm a man with a mission 
Baby, you know it's you 
It's you 
Man with a mission........
