The streets are wet
The lights have yet

To shed their darkened luster on the scene

My skirt's too short

My tights are run
These new heels are killing me


A second pack of cigarettes
It's a slow night, but there's time yet
Here comes the john from his other life

He may be driving to his wife
But he slowed down, take a look
I've learned to read them just like books

It's already half past ten
But they'll be back again


Head lights in a rainy street
I checked, made sure it's not the heat
I wink, I smile, I wave my hand

He stops, he seems to understand
A small transaction we must meet
I tell him that my heart will break

If he's not a generous man
I step into his van


They say the first's the hardest trick
But after that it's just a matter of logic
They have the money I have the time

Being pretty's my only crime
Ask what future do I see
I say it's really up to me

I don't need forgiving
I'm just making a living


Don't judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances


Don't judge me
One more night

I'll just have to take my chances
For tomorrow we'll see


A friend of mine, he wound up dead
His dress is stained with color red
The next of kin, no fixed abode

Another victim on this road
The police just carted him away
But someone took his place next day

He's home by Thanksgiving
But not with the living


Don't judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances


Don't judge me
One more night

I'll just have to take my chances

I know it's just not in my plan

For someone to care who I am

I walk in the streets for money

It's the business of love, hey honey, come on!
Don't leave me lonely, don't leave me sad
I'll be the sweetest five minutes you'll ever have


Don't judge me
You could be me in another life

In another set of circumstances

Don't judge me

One more night
I'll just have to take my chances
And tomorrow we'll see
