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