Lyrics
What could he have done
To deserve this fate?
Is there any way he
Can make his escape?
My landlord, he?s afraid of his wife
And that?s too bad cuz she aiun?t too nice
With her long, red nails and her spandex pants
She?ll make him jump and she?ll make him dance.
My landlord, he?s a nervous wreck
That broad?s gonna give him a heart attack
And if I could help, if I had my say
I?d scream in his face RUN AWAY RUN AWAY
Oh, Landlord ?
Oh, Honey ?
Run like hell.
My landlord seems nice enough
But I guess he thinks that he?s in love
With that silly bitch
With that ball and chain
It seems she?s driven him half insane, oh ?
What could he have done
To deserve this fate?
Is there any way he
Can make his escape?
He just seems so hopeless
He just seems so lost
Is love really worth it?
At what cost?
My landlord, he?s afraid of his wife
And that?s too bad cuz she aiun?t too nice
With her long, red nails and her spandex pants
She?ll make him jump and she?ll make him dance.
Oh, Landlord ?
Oh, Honey ?
Run Like Hell.
Run like hell...
Run like hell...
Landlord, you'd better run
Like Hell.
