Dime A Dance |
| I came to the city cause the folks back home |
| Thought I was pretty enough to make it |
| They bought me a ticket on a star-bound greyhound |
| I was on my way |
| But I landed in a dance hall |
| Part time money was all I could make |
| Saying hey mister, take a chance |
| It only costs you a dime a dance |
| And if you’re looking for romance |
| I’ll be nice to you |
| Hey mister, it’s so cold |
| When you don’t have someone to hold |
| I’ll do anything I’m told to do |
| Baby, I want you |
| At the time he was living with his wife and kids |
| She wasn’t giving him the love he needed |
| He poured out his troubles at the Sleepwell Motel |
| As I poured the wine |
| He said that he was gonna marry me |
| If she’d only let him go |
| So a worn-out promise |
| And a party gown keeps me in this town |
| Saying hey mister, take a chance |
| It only costs you a dime a dance |
| And if you’re looking for romance |
| I’ll be nice to you |
| Hey mister, it’s so cold |
| When you don’t have someone to hold |
| I’ll do anything I’m told to do |
| Baby, I want you |
