Red Flag

Red Flag
Beverley Knight
Can't pay no rental
Can't find a job
But fourteen carats on his hand tells me that's odd
If he's a hustler
To earn his pay
How come he sitting on his Mama's stoop all day
That girl's his cousin
That what he said
I guess that's how he justifies being in your bed
Her child's so pretty
Looks just like him
And I don't think she calls him Daddy on a whim
You better listen
You better see
The signs of danger
Set yourself free
Red flag is waving
So clear to me
Run from the danger
Set yourself free
You got a winner
No way to lose
The sign above his door suggests he tells the truth
A sound investment
Against your home
Until you wind up losing everything you own
You got insurance
That's what you thought
At least that's how that guy described what you had bought
A piece of paper
Ties you in knots
It says that they don't pay on anything you lost
You better listen
You better see
The signs of danger
Set yourself free
Red flag is waving
So clear to me
Run from the danger
Set yourself free
Keep your mind wide open
Players learn the art of disguise
It's too late when your heart is broken
For the scales
To fall
From your eyes
Could be your neighbour
Could be your friend
Could be that cute girl you get down with on the weekends
See I'm no hater
Been through this game
I'm just somebody trying to save you from my pain
You better listen
You better see
The signs of danger
Set yourself free
Red flag is waving
So clear to me
Run from the danger
Set yourself free
Set yourself free
