Well the pressure's down, the boss ain't here |
|
He gone North, for a while |
|
They say that vanity got the best of him |
|
But he sure left here in style |
|
By the way, that's a cute hat |
|
And that smile's so hard to resist |
|
But what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? |
|
You know, I once knew a woman who looked like you |
|
She wanted a whole man, not just a half |
|
She used to call me sweet daddy when I was only a child |
|
You kind of remind me of her when you laugh |
|
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear |
|
It's done with a flick of the wrist |
|
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? |
|
You know, a woman like you should be at home |
|
That's where you belong |
|
Taking care for somebody nice |
|
Who don't know how to do you wrong |
|
Just how much abuse will you be able to take ? |
|
Well, there's no way to tell by that first kiss |
|
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? |
|
You know you can make a name for yourself |
|
You can hear them tires squeal |
|
You can be known as the most beautiful woman |
|
Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal. |
|
You know, news of you has come down the line |
|
Even before ya came in the door |
|
They say in your father's house, there's many mansions |
|
Each one of them got a fireproof floor |
|
Snap out of it baby, people are jealous of you |
|
They smile to your face, but behind your back they hiss |
|
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? |
|
Got to be an important person to be in here, honey |
|
Got to have done some evil deed |
|
Got to have your own harem when you come in the door |
|
Got to play your harp until your lips bleed. |
|
They say that patriotism is the last refuge |
|
To which a scoundrel clings |
|
Steal a little and they throw you in jail |
|
Steal a lot and they make you king |
|
There's only one step down from here, baby |
|
It's called the land of permanent bliss |
|
