Well the pressure's down, the boss ain't here
He gone North, for a while
They say that vanity got the best of him
But he sure left here in style
By the way, that's a cute hat
And that smile's so hard to resist
But what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know, I once knew a woman who looked like you
She wanted a whole man, not just a half
She used to call me sweet daddy when I was only a child
You kind of remind me of her when you laugh
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear
It's done with a flick of the wrist
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know, a woman like you should be at home
That's where you belong
Taking care for somebody nice
Who don't know how to do you wrong
Just how much abuse will you be able to take?
Well, there's no way to tell by that first kiss
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know you can make a name for yourself
You can hear them tires squeal
You can be known as the most beautiful woman
Who ever crawled across cut glass, to make a deal.

You know, news of you has come down the line
Even before you came in the door
They say in your father's house, there's many mansions
Each one of them got a fireproof floor
Snap out of it baby, people are jealous of you
They smile to your face, but behind your back they hiss
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

They say that oppression is a cruel tutor
And injustice is a nurse
You put your hand in somebody's who's nose can't smell
But you put your confidence in him, and that's worse

Got to be an important person to be in here, honey
Got to have done some evil deed
Got to have your own harem, when you come in the door
Got to play your harp until your lips bleed.
They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings
Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king
There's only one step down from here, baby
It's called the land of permanent bliss
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

Iss mod se jaate hain
Kuchh sust-kadam raste,
Kuchh tez-kadam raahein...

Patthar ki haveli ko,
Sheeshe ke gharondon mein,
Tinko ke nasheman tak,
Iss mod se jaate hain...

Aandhi ki tarah udd kar,
Ek raah guzarti hain;
Sharmaati hui koi,
Kadamonse utarti hain

Inn reshmi raahon mein,
Ek raah to woh hogi...
Tum tak jo pahunchti hain,
Iss mod se jaati hain

Ek door se aati hain,
Paas aake palatati hain;
Ek raah akeli si,
Rukti hain na chalti hain...

Yeh soch ke baithi hoon,
Ek raah to woh hogi...
Tum tak jo pahunchti hain,
Iss mod se jaati hain

Iss mod se jaate hain,
Kuchh sust-kadam raste,
Kuchh tez-kadam raahein...

Patthar ki haveli ko,
Sheeshe ke gharondon mein,
Tinko ke nasheman tak,
Iss mod se jaate hain...

I'm searching for phrases
To sing your praises
I need to tell someone
It's soon after midnight
And my day has just begun

A gal named Honey
Took my money
She was passing by
It's soon after midnight
And the moon is in my eye

My heart is cheerful
It's never fearful
I've been down on the killing floors
I'm in no great hurry
I'm not afraid of your fury
I've faced stronger walls than yours

Charlotte's a harlot
Dresses in scarlet
Mary dresses in green
It's soon after midnight
And I've got a date with the fairy queen

They chirp and they chatter
What does it matter?
They'll lie and they'll die in their blood
Two timing slim
Who's ever heard of him?
I'll drag his corpse through the mud

It's now or never
More than ever
When I met you, I didn't think you would do
It's soon after midnight
And I don't want nobody but you
