SONG:Sweetheart Like You

The pressure's down, the boss ain't here
he's gone north, for a while
thtey 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 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 ya came in the door
they say in your father's house, there's many a mansions
each one of them got a fireproof floor
snap out of it baby, people are jealous of you
the smile o your face, but behind your back they hiss
what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
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 put you in jail
steal a lot and they make you king
there's only one step down from here, baby
it's caled the land of permanent bliss
what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
