Sweetheart Like You

Well the pressure's down the boss ain't hereHe gone North he ain't aroundThey say that vanity got the best of himBut he sure left here after sundownBy the way that's a cute hatAnd that smile so hard to resisitBut what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?You know I once knew a woman who looked like youShe wanted a whole man not just a halfShe used to call me sweet daddy when I was a childIn order to deal in this game, got to make the Queen disapearIt's done with a flick of the wristWhat's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?You know a woman like you should be at homeThat's where you belongWatching out for someone who loves you trueWho would never do you wrongJust how much abuse will you be able to takeWell there's no way to tell by that first kissWhat's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?You know you can make a name for yourselfYou can hear them tires squealYou can be known as the most beautiful womanWho ever crawled across cut glass to make a dealYou know, news of you has come down the lineEven before you came in the doorThey say in your father's house there's many mansionsEach one of them got a fireproof floorSnap out of it baby people are jealous of youThey smile in your face but behind your back they hissWhat's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?Got to be an important person to be in here, honeyGot to have done some evil deedGot to have your own harem when you come in the doorGot to play your harp until your lips bleedThey say that patriotism is the last refugeTo which a scoundrel clingsSteal a little and they throw you in jailSteal a lot and they make you KingThere's only one step down from here, babyIt's called the land of permanent blissWhat's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
