Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some people call me the space cowboy yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
People talk about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Well don't you worry baby, don't worry
'Cause I'm right here at home
'Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
Playin' my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a mid-night toker
I get my lovin' on the run
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
