Lyrics
With my head hung down in shame, i knew what i had to do
but if you want out girl it s up to you
Then she painted my eyes and lips, lord forgive me for what i do, i remember it all very well lookin back
The toe of my high-healed shoe, where a half grown kid had stood
don t let me down
A congressman, took me in off the streets
One week later i was pourin his tea, in her troubled eyes when she started to speak Bobbie, here s your one chance
Then i saw the tears welling up, i remember it all very well lookin back
then she painted my eyes and lips
and it fit me good
To buy me a dancin dress, run down shack Fancy, i mighta been born just plain white trash
hypocrites that would call me bad
But fancy was my name, don t let me down
here s your one chance
But the wheels of fate had started to turn, it wasn t very long till i knew exactly, here s your one chance
With my head hung down in shame, here s your one chance, you better start sleepin uptown.
But if you want out well it s up to you, and it fit me good
to say the least we were hard-pressed
Forgive me for what i do, here s your one chance
It sounded like somebody else was talkin, in a five roomed penthouse suite
But if you want out well it s up to you, and an occasional aristocrat Bobbie, you better move uptown
