Well the smell of women
The stink of gin
Those rings of smoke
It's the oldest sin
And she's long and tall
In them reeling lights
Someone's gonna break
your heart tonight
Well it's just a job
She's got her bills to pay
She's gonna smile and shake
And walk away
She don't want to know your name
Or see you in daylight
Someone's gonna break
your heart tonight
Oh well now darling
Oh you're so pretty
Put on those heels
Go on, go pick a name
And then they shake their heads
They say, "Oh, what a pity"
But there ain't no shame in how the game is played
She don't want to take you home
Or be your friend
She makes a living on the fault of men
She turns a dollar on a thing that's pure
The only thing lead you back for more
Well, she got a kid at home
A man who left
She got a framed degree
Man, she did her best
It didn't turn the way
She thought it might
Someone's gonna break
your heart tonight
Oh well now, darlin'
Oh you're so pretty
Up in those heels
Tell me baby, is that your name?
And then they shake their heads
They say "Oh what a pity,"
But there ain't no shame in how the game is played
