DON HENLEY lyrics - Man With A Mission

(Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar and J. D. Souther)



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

And I'm 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 give me drop dead (drop dead), drop dead looks

You are the finest women 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



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 on a mission

Babym you know it's you
