(lovesong for a stripper)
You can tell just by the way she talks,
That she must've grown up rough.
Had a couple dreams for the future,
But it wasn't really good enough.
Turned 18, got out of her fucked up house,
And went into the real world.
Got a job stripping for rich white men...
Such a lonely little girl.
And when you think that no one understands,
The things that you go through,
I'll be there for you.
Yes, I will be there for you.
Yes, I think that I'm in love,
And I don't really know what this is all about.
But if I set myself on fire,
Would you even stop to put me out?
I'd love to be the one,
To help you out (Maybe further on down the line),
To say, "Fuck you. I'm through with you.
You can go to hell, and I'll be doing just fine."
Yes, I know you got your boyfriend,
And his fast Italian car,
But does he really give a damn about you?
Does he see how great you are?
On the table doing those sexy things,
But I really couldn't care.
I just wanna run my fingers,
through your soft blonde hair.
I can't line the stage with twenties,
And hope that you'll sleep with me.
I'm not rich, and I got a fucked up car,
But I hope that you can see.
Yes, I think that I'm in love,
And I don't really know what this is all about.
But if I set myself on fire,
Would you even stop to put me out?
I'd love to be the one,
To help you out (Maybe further on down the line),
To say, "Fuck you. I'm through with you.
You can go to hell, and I'll be doing just fine."
Yeah, I'll be doing just fine.
And I look into your eyes,
Everytime you're up on stage,
And I can see through all the lies,
I wish I could take this all away.
And when you think that no one knows,
The things that you've been through,
I'll remember you.
I'll remember you.
I will remember you.
Yes, I think that I'm in love,
And I don't really know what this is all about.
But if I set myself on fire,
Would you even stop to put me out?
I'd love to be the one,
To help you out (Maybe further on down the line),
To say, "Fuck you. I'm through with you.
You can go to hell, and I'll be doing just fine."
