from the songs album A Spanner In The Work
Well the pressure's down,?
the boss ain't here?
he's gone North for a while?
They said that vanity?
Got the best of him?
But he sure left here after sundown.?
By the way, that's a cute hat that you're wearing?
And that smile so hard to resist?
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 a child?
You kind of remind me of her when you laugh?
To deal in this game, you must 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?
It's where you truly belong?
Watching out for someone who loves you true?
Who would never never do you no wrong?
Just how much abuse you can take? - Well,?
There's no way to tell by that first lonely kiss?
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this??
You know you could make a name of yourself?
You can hear those tyres squeal?
You can be known as the most beautiful woman?
Whoever crawled across cut glass to make a deal ...?
You know the news of you has come down the line?
Even before you came in the door?
They say in your father's house there's many mansions?
Each one of them got a fire-proof floor?
Snap out of it Baby, people are jealous of you?
They smile in 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 come in here honey?
Got to have done some evil deed?
Got to have your own harm when you come in the door?
Got to play your harp until your lips bleed ...?
They say patriotism is the last refuge?
To which a scoundrel claime?
Steal a little, and they'll throw you in jail?
Steal a lot, and they'll make you a king?
There's only one step down from here Baby?
It's the land of the permanent bliss -?
So what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
