Partners In Crime |
She’s under-age and she’s underweight |
And she’s one month hooked and she’s two months late |
She comes from Wyoming |
And he named her Desiree |
She hit New York like a farm-fresh egg |
Hits a frying pan, she’s too proud to beg |
So she works on the sidewalk |
He administrates her pay |
She calls him Swagger 'cause of his hat |
He adopted her in three seconds flat |
By the bus station doorway |
Where he found her half-alive |
He is her family and in return |
He beats up on her and takes all she can earn |
And she needs him so badly |
Losing him she’d never survive |
Him and her, me and you |
We do it to each other whatever we do Hand in hand, arm in arm |
It’s always been the two of us doing us harm |
It’s the same deal every time |
We’re all of us partners in crime |
She is a buyer for Bloomingdale’s |
He’s division head of commercial sales |
They met at the office |
Odds we one to one they’d meet |
Work is the great aphrodisiac |
It’s that nine-to-five gets 'em in the sack |
Afternoons at the office |
Evenings at the health retreat |
And all day long he just balls her out |
'Bout some shipment due on the air freight route |
But when they leave the office |
Guess who gets the upper hand? |
She’s into power, he’s into pain |
And beneath her heel, he will long remain |
And he needs her so badly |
Loves it when she takes command |
Him and her, me and you |
We do it to each other whatever we do Hand in hand, arm in arm |
It’s always been the two of us doing us harm |
It’s the same deal every time |
We’re all of us partners in crime |
If there’s a heaven, if there’s a hell |
It’s made up of those who we love so well |
And we make hell or heaven |
As we do when we’re alive |
Two people meet and they fix their deal |
And they get what they deserve |
And they want the way they feel |
And we need love so badly |
Losing it we’d never survive |
Him and her, me and you |
We do it to each other whatever we do Hand in hand, arm in arm |
It’s always been the two of us doing us harm |
It’s the same deal every time |
We’re all of us partners in crime |
