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