Sweetheart Like You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, the pressure's down, the boss ain't here He's 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 a smile so hard to resist What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? [Verse 2] You know, I once had 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, you 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? [Verse 3] You know, a woman like you should be at home That's where you belong Taking care of somebody nice That don't know how to treat you wrong Just how much abuse will you be able to take? It's hard to tell from the first kiss What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? [Bridge] 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 just to make a deal [Verse 4] 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 step down from here, baby It's called the land of a permanent bliss They smile to your face, behind your back, they hiss What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? [Outro] By the way, that's a cute hat What's a cute hat like that doing in a dump like this?
