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