Standover Man - Rose Tattoo

Headcase hard, he was her kinda man

Givin' up the street, never part of her plan

A born manipulator, a chronic fornicator

A recipe for tragedy, a verbal masturbator

Standing in the shadows with her life in his hand

She was living in fear of the standover man

Stone cold heart like the gun in his hand

Welcome to the world of the standover man

A smooth operator, urban alligator

With a snap and a twist, it’s all over see you later

Standing in the shadows with her life in his hand

She was living in fear of the standover man

He only knew one way, one shot, one kill

Standing in the shadows of the standover man

Standing in the shadows with her life in his hand

Life gets short when you loose twenty years

Locked in a hell full of violence and fear

I don’t know why he did it, he don’t know why he did it

But for the rest of his life he will live to regret it

Standing in the shadows with her life in his hand

She no longer fears of the standover man

One shot, one kill

Standing in the shadows

Oh man…
