And She'll Dress Up Tonight...

And she dresses up each night
Short skirts and too much make-up
Just to go out and have a little fun
And make some cash on the side

And there’s no one to come home to
Because they’ve all given up on her
So she doesn’t bother with shopping
She doesn’t eat anyway and the only drinks
She needs are the one the johns buy her
At whatever bars she’s dancing at tonight

Alley ways and backseats are what
Get her through the bills
And keep a roof over her head
Not that she’s there all that much
There’s no reason to be

And old memories haunt her
So she drinks until she’s numb
And she forgets why she was so upset
And when the drinks aren’t enough
She finds a john who’ll hurt her
And make her feel special at the same time,
With that needle he always carries around

Everything she does is to get attention
Because the people that once cared
Don’t want anything to do with her anymore
So she’s lonely and tired and just wants
Someone to act like they care and for a little
Make everything about her....

And so tonight she’ll dress up
In short skirts and too much make-up
And she’ll go out and have fun
Drink too much and get high
She’ll find a john and go to an alley way
And when that’s all over she’ll take the money
And walk away without looking back

And she hopes that one day
When she drinks too much and gets high
That she’ll find a john who doesn’t know
When to stop hurting her when to stop pushing on her neck
And she’ll finally be free!!!!
