Lady by the hour.
Lady by the hour please tell me that you’re happy
Then perhaps my heart will let you go.
The busy streets your home and sanctum
Contingent love is all you want to know
When the evening’s over and the make up starts to run.
The red lights have gone out and your working day is done.
Lady by the hour who will see your tears?
Relinquishing your power with the passing of the years
Lady up for hire, let me take you back in time.
Before you shone your crimson light.
The days when you were mine.
Money will impress you
Strangers will undress you.
Eventually suppress you
Eagerly caress my precious flower.
Treat you like a lady by the hour.
Harlot you pretend you;re having fun
When the lights go out, where will you run?
Come to me and let me dry your eyes.
Don’t treat me like I\'m just one of those guys.
I’ve loved ever you since our teenage years
You run toward the city lights, fade, and disappear.
Searching for a certain kind of truth.
Only to be savored in your youth.
Lady of the street just let me love you.
Let me take you to another home.
Everyone you meet takes something from you.
Take your love and suddenly they’re gone.
Lady of the night the shadows lurk.
Tempting you to go back to your work
Stay with me until the morning light.
Don’t become a lady of the night.
