Well the pressures down the boss ain't here He's got 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 a smile 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 just a child You kind of remind me of her when you laugh In order to deal in this game you've got to make the king 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 of someone 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 the first kiss What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? You know you can make a name for yourself You know 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 you came through the door They say in your father's house, there's many mansions Each one of them s got a fireproof floor Snap out of it 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 baby Got to have done some evil deed Got to have your own harem when you come in the door Got to play your heart 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 a king There's only one more step from here baby It's called the land of permanent bliss What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
