|
The streets are wet
|
|
The lights have yet
|
|
To shed their tawdry luster on the scene
|
|
My skirt's too short
|
|
My tights have run
|
|
These new heels are killing me
|
|
My second pack of cigarettes
|
|
It's a slow night, but there's time yet
|
|
Here comes john from his other life
|
|
He may be driving to his wife
|
|
But he'll slow down take a look
|
|
I've learned to read them just like books
|
|
And it's already half past ten
|
|
But they'll be back again
|
|
Headlights in the rainy street
|
|
I check, make sure it's not the heat
|
|
I wink, I smile, I wave my hand
|
|
He stops and seems to understand
|
|
The small transaction we must make
|
|
I tell him that my heart will break
|
|
If he's not a generous man
|
|
I step into his van
|
|
They say the first is the hardest trick
|
|
And after that it's just a matter of logic
|
|
They have the money I have the time
|
|
Being pretty's my only crime
|
|
You ask what future do I see
|
|
I say it's really up to me
|
|
I don't need forgiving
|
|
I'm just making a living
|
|
Don't judge me
|
|
You could be me in another life
|
|
In another set of circumstances
|
|
Don't judge me
|
|
One more night I'll just have to take my chances
|
|
And tomorrow we'll see
|
|
A friend of mine, he wound up dead
|
|
His dress is stained the color red
|
|
The next of kin, no fixed abode
|
|
Another victim on this road
|
|
The police just carted him away
|
|
But someone took his place next day
|
|
He was home by Thanksgiving
|
|
But not with the living
|
|
Don't judge me
|
|
You could be me in another life
|
|
In another set of circumstances
|
|
Don't judge me
|
|
One more night I'll just have to take my chances
|
|
I know it's just not in my plan
|
|
For someone to care who I am
|
|
I'm walking the streets for money
|
|
It's the business of love, "hey honey,"
|
|
C'mon, don't leave me lonely, don't leave me sad
|
|
It'll be the sweetest five minutes you ever have
|
|
Don't judge me
|
|
You could be me in another life
|
|
In another set of circumstances
|
|
Don't judge me
|
|
One more night I'll just have to take my chances
|
|
And tomorrow we'll see
|
|
|

Tomorrow Well See
