| These dance hall girls, they treat you kind
|
| They give you their bodies, but you’ll never touch their minds
|
| They’ll fill you up, with lipstick lies
|
| Then they put you down son
|
| Don’t be surprised
|
| Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
|
| I held her mountains, I kissed her plains
|
| I touched her sunshine, Lord then I drank her rain
|
| But I went too far. |
| Then I broke too fast
|
| I thought I had a winner picked
|
| I came in last, again
|
| Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
|
| I must have chosen the wrong season to come down
|
| I never realized they call this sacred ground
|
| My sense of time, a-hell I’m a week behind
|
| I sent a letter home, but this all takes time you know
|
| I wanna get some money, I wanna go back home
|
| But these dance hall girls
|
| Know how to make a man feel alone
|
| Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
|
| I must have chosen the wrong season to come down
|
| I never realized they call this sacred ground
|
| My sense of time, a-hell I’m a week behind
|
| They give you their bodies, but you’ll never touch their minds
|
| They’ll fill you up, with lipstick lies
|
| These dance hall girls say
|
| They can’t stand to see a grown man cry
|
| Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
|
| Is this the way it always is here in Montreal?
|
| Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? |
