Well the pressure's down, the boss ain't here
He gone North, for a while

They 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 tires 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 mansions

Each one of them got a fireproof floor

Snap out of it baby, people are jealous of you
They smile to 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 throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king

There's only one step down from here, baby
It's called the land of permanent bliss

What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this ?
