Verse I
Little girl is home alone
Doing homework on her own

Lights cut off the bill is due
Momma says she'll be home soon


Momma wears a golden heart
Dangling across her arm
Grabs her daughter says lets go

We're headed to the "candy store"

That's the Pawn shop on the corner

Two men stand behind the counter
Momma takes her heart, says how much?
He looks down pulls out 50 dollars


And a peppermint for the kid
See momma don't realize what she did

Showed baby girl when lack meets greed
A man has what she needs


Hook
So she'll put her heart in a Pawn Shop
And wait on a man to come get it

Wait on a man to come get it
Wait on a man to come get it
She'll put her heart in a Pawn Shop

And wait on a man to come get it
Wait on a man to come get it
Wait on a man to come get it

Oh oh oh oh

Verse II

Girl is grown & on her own
Waiting tables far from home
Rent behind, tuitions due

Wants to graduate from school

Find a man her conscience says

Do the things your mother did
Put your charm inside his hands
Sell your heart and take his cash


She finds a candy store on the corner
Pinks lights, pretty girls, late hours

Do a dance, strip strip for an hour
Many men pull out their dollars


And a drink for the tip
See momma don't realize what she did
Showed baby girl when lack meets greed

A man has what she needs

Hook

She'll put her heart in a pawn shop
And wait on a man to come get it
Wait on a man to come get it

She put her heart in a pawn shop
And wait on a man to come get it
Wait on a man to come get it

Wait on a man to come get it
Oh oh oh oh
