Sweet Painted Lady

You're back on dry land once again

Opportunity awaits you like a rat in a drain

You're all hunting honey with money to burn

Just a short time to show you the tricks that I've learned

If the boys all behave themselves here

There's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear

You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight

The prices I charge here will see you, all right

I lay down beside you again

Your sweet painted lady, the one with no name

Many have used me, many still do

There's a placе in the world for a woman like me

Sweet paintеd lady

Seems it's always been the same

Getting paid for being laid

I guess that's the name of the game

Sweet painted lady

Seems it's always been the same

Getting paid for being laid

Guess that's the name of the game

You'll be gone very soon

I'll forget you ever slept in my room

And you'll leave the smell of the sea in my bed

Where love's just a job and nothing is said

Sweet painted lady

Seems it's always been the same

Getting paid for being laid

Guess that's the name of the game

Sweet painted lady

Seems it's always been the same

Getting paid for being laid

Guess that's the name of the game
