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
