[A] [E]
You're the kind of girl [A] that everybody's worried [E]
about.
You're the kind of person [A] that everybody's staring [E]
at.
[A] But now you're a topless dancer working out of a [E] ball in Times Square.
[A] And everybody wishes you were back in the massage parlor [E] back there.
I ain't giving you up.
You make me go, ooh, baby, ooh, baby, [A] ooh, baby, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, ooh, baby, ooh, ooh.
[A] Your old man was the best B&E man down on the [E] street.
And all the guys on the pitch sink always was watching for him on the beat.
[A] But when he ripped off Seymour, he was really not doing so [E]
fine.
And everything is not so well, except his hands and legs, and maybe even mine.
He's feeling a bit stupid that they said, ooh, baby, ooh, baby, ooh, ooh, baby, ooh.
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, ooh, baby, ooh, ooh.
I can't go on.
[A] [E]
It's very funny asking me why they keep the lights on down so low.
[E] Well, [A] yesterday's trade, today's competition, or didn't you know?
[A] And all fluorescent light ain't naked, so your wrinkles, they don't [E] show.
[A] And it's very funny the way a 20-buck sign hour [E] can't go.
If you don't make me go now, now, now, ooh, baby, ooh, [A] baby, ooh, ooh, [E] baby, ooh.
Ooh, baby, ooh, [A] baby, ooh, baby, ooh, ooh.
[E] [A]
Everybody wondered about you when you were seen him [E] drinking some beer.
[A] You got here from Ohio and your mother said you'd hook [E] up in the Rio near.
That's where you go now, ooh, baby, ooh, [A] baby, ooh, ooh, baby, ooh, [E]
ooh.
He shook your buns now, mama, ooh, baby, ooh, [A] baby, ooh, ooh, baby, [E] ooh, ooh.
What is [A] now?
Head [E] down.
