[Intro]

Ah, yeah

Oh, yeah

[Verse 1]

I'm up on the eleventh floor and I'm watching the cruisers below

He's down on the street and he's trying hard to pull sister Flo

Oh, my heart's in the basement, my weekend's at an all time low

'Cause she's hoping to score, so I can't see her letting him go

[Pre-Chorus]

Walk out of her heart

Walk out of her mind

Oh, not her

[Chorus]

She's so swishy in her satin and tat

In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat

Oh, God, I could do better than that

Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]

She's an old-time ambassador of sweet talking, night walking games

Oh, and she's known in the darkest clubs for pushing ahead of the dames

If she says she can do it then she can do it, she don't make false claims

But she's a queen, and such are queens that your laughter is sucked in their brains

Now she's leading him on

[Pre-Chorus]

And she'll lay him right down

Yes, she's leading him on

And she'll lay him right down

But it could have been me

Yes, it could have been me

Why didn't I say, why didn't I say

No, no, no?

[Chorus]

She's so swishy in her satin and tat

In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat

Oh, God, I could do better than that

[Verse 3]

So I lay down a while and I gaze at my hotel wall

Oh, the cot is so cold, it don't feel like no bed at all

Yeah, I lay down a while and look at my hotel wall

And he's down on the street, so I throw both his bags down the hall

[Pre-Chorus]

And I'm phoning a cab

'Cause my stomach feels small

There's a taste in my mouth

And it's no taste at all

It could have been me

Oh, yeah, it could have been me

Why didn't I say, why didn't I say

No, no, no?

[Chorus]

She's so swishy in her satin and tat

In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat

Oh, God, I could do better than that

[Outro]

Ooh

You betcha

Oh, yeah

Uh-huh

Mmm
