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 dancer

I'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 heart

So if you don't mean business

Knock on someone else's door,

'Cos it's a mean mean business

Staying alive if you fool with me

You 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

'Cos seven to eleven made a fool out of me

So if you don't mean business

Knock on someone else's door,

'Cos it's a mean mean business

Staying alive if you fool with me

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 dancer

So if you don't mean business

Knock on someone else's door,

'Cos it's a mean mean business

Staying alive if you fool with me...
