Some Like It Hot

You were standing on the corner

Your heels were tapping holes in the ground.

With your plastic and your tinsel;

Your makeup made to cover your frown.

Then you whispered “Entertain me cause my Mr. Right is never around”.

All your cash and medication, it’s keeping you from crying again.

You’re a walking celebration, you’re dressing up and playing pretend.

Yeah, she really don’t need enemies when diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

No, it really doesn’t matter where your husband has gone

Yeah,  it breaks my heart to see him leave you here all alone.

Now it’s one for the money and two for the show

Baby, three to get ready, and four, I don’t know…

So, you took me to your castle, we danced beneath the candles a while.

And although we both knew better, we surrendered to our hesitant smiles.

You were older so I told ya’ that the fairytale had gone out of style.

Well, I spent the night beside ya’ on a mattress that was fit for a queen.

And you cast me in your fantasy, but you’re the one who lives in a dream.

‘Cause you tried to show me Marilyn, but all I saw was Norma Jean.

No. it really doesn’t matter where your lover has gone

‘Cause you’re waiting on another who will treat you all wrong.

Now it’s one for the money and two for the show

Baby, three to get ready, and four, I don’t know…

Yeah, I think you ought to ask where all your dignity’s gone

And I guess that I forgot to say I couldn’t stay long.

And now it’s one for the money and two for the show

Baby, three to get ready, and four, I don’t know…
