Word to the wise, my dear
Dm                                  G            
Never fall in love with a woman who sells herself

It always ends badly

Am                     
His eyes upon your face
E7                     
His hand upon your hand
Am                       
His lips caress your skin
Dm             F     E7   A7
It's more than I can stand

You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Gm                     A7   
Walk these streets for money
          Dm                                  
You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right

Am          Dm    E7  
Why does my heart cry?
Am         Dm    G    
Feelings I can't fight
C              E7          
You're free to leave me but
Am           E7      
Just don't deceive me
     F                         Dm 
And, please, believe me when I say
  E7      
I love you

[Dialogue]
Am                                                             
You mean nothing to me. I feel nothing for you. You are nothing
