And I'm phoning a cab
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
And he's down on the street
She's so swishy in her satin and tat
She's so swishy in her satin and tat
Why didn't I say, why didn't I say?
He's down on the street
Uh hu
Oh, yeah
Then she can do it, she don't make false claims
Oh, my heart's in the basement
And he's try hard to pull sister Flo
And I'm watching the cruisers below
Oh, not her
So I throw both his bags down the hall
I'm up on the eleventh floor
But she's a queen and such a queen
Yes, it could have been me
And she'll lay him right down
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that
And I gaze at my hotel wall
Yes, she's leading him on
Oh God, I could do better than that
Why didn't I say, why didn't I say?
But it could have been me
For pushing ahead of the dames
And look at my hotel wall
If she says she can do it
And she'll lay him right down
Yeah, I lay down a while
No, no, no
You betcha
Of sweet talking, night walking games
And she's known in the darkest clubs
So I lay down a while
Oh
Such a laughter is sucked in their brains
Walk out of her mind
'Cause my stomach feels small
Oh, the cot is so cold
My weekend's at an all time low
It could have been me
It don't feel like no bed at all
Walk out of her heart
So I can't see her letting him go
Now she's leading him on
She's so swishy in her satin and tat
Oh yeah
'Cause she's hoping to score
She's an old-time ambassador
Oh yeah, it could have been me
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
No, no, no
Oh God, I could do better than that
There's a taste in my mouth
And it's no taste at all
