Midnight Creeper Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
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
Well I, I just wanna loosen up my soul, honey
[Chorus]
'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 (Creep!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
'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, here I'm comin', whoo!)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
