Walk a mile in my tennis shoes
Tina Turner gave me the highway blues but
I don't love nobody but you, honey
I'm a true rat for the things I done
Second cousin to a son of a gun
I'm gonna wipe out your mama if she puts me on, honey
'Cause I'm a midnight creeper
Ain't gonna lose no sleep over you
When there's a nightmare, I'm there
Tempting you to blow a fuse
Well, there's no more sleeping
When I'm midnight creeping over you
Watch out, honey, watch out, honey
Watch the things you do
Long haired ladies, well, they look so fine
Locked in my cellar full of cheap red wine
But I don't think those ladies they really mind, honey
I still don't know why you hate me so
A little bit of fun never stopped no show, and I
I just wanna to loosen up my soul, honey
'Cause I'm a midnight creeper
Ain't gonna lose no sleep over you
When there's a nightmare, I'm there
Tempting you to blow a fuse
Well, there's no more sleeping
When I'm midnight creeping over you
Watch out, honey, watch out, honey
Watch the things you do
Oh Creeper
'Cause I'm a midnight creeper
Ain't gonna lose no sleep over you
When there's a nightmare, I'm there
Tempting you to blow a fuse
Well, there's no more sleeping
When I'm midnight creeping over you
Watch out, honey, watch out, honey
Watch the things you do
Oh, oh, you're all coming, ooh
