Hey mister,

                   don't walk by me

this is a cold lonely city

lets go get warm, I know a place

this street corner where I'm standing

is so windy, the street lamp doesn't warm

my short little dress, cut up the side

won't warm me

but I'll warm you

Hey mister,

                   what do you say

what's twenty dollars between friends

Hey mister,

                   what game are you playing

I'll play it too

don't walk by me

I can be what you want

your mother? I'm young but I'll do

Hey lover-boy

                   if you're buyin' I'm sellin'

nothing is free in this town

except loneliness

like a disease in our bones

we're born with it -- live with it

and damn but we'll die with it

so lets go to my place

forget the whole thing, for a while

what's twenty dollar between friends

Hey mister,

                   don't my make-up look pretty

do I remind you of a dream

that you've been having, late at night,

                                                     alone?

sure your wife doesn't understand you

but I do

I know what you need

'cause I need it too

damn this corner, damn this city,

take me from here for a while

Hey mister.
