The streets are wet The lights have yet To shed their darkened luster on the scene
My skirt's too short My tights are run These new heels are killing me
A second pack of cigarettes It's a slow night, but there's time yet Here comes the john from his other life He may be driving to his wife But he slowed down, take a look I've learned to read them just like books It's already half past ten But they'll be back again
Head lights in a rainy street I checked, made sure it's not the heat I wink, I smile, I wave my hand He stops, he seems to understand A small transaction we must meet I tell him that my heart will break If he's not a generous man I step into his van
They say the first's the hardest trick But after that it's just a matter of logic They have the money I have the time Being pretty's my only crime Ask what future do I see I say it's really up to me I don't need forgiving I'm just making a living
Don't judge me You could be me in another life In another set of circumstances
Don't judge me One more night I'll just have to take my chances For tomorrow we'll see
A friend of mine, he wound up dead His dress is stained with color red The next of kin, no fixed abode Another victim on this road The police just carted him away But someone took his place next day He's home by Thanksgiving But not with the living
Don't judge me You could be me in another life In another set of circumstances
Don't judge me One more night I'll just have to take my chances
I know it's just not in my plan For someone to care who I am
I walk in the streets for money It's the business of love, hey honey, come on! Don't leave me lonely, don't leave me sad I'll be the sweetest five minutes you'll ever have
Don't judge me You could be me in another life In another set of circumstances
Don't judge me One more night I'll just have to take my chances And tomorrow we'll see
