In the city of light
she's a sweet delight
she treats me right
doesn't fuss or fight
no she's never complained to me

She's got a rusty soul
an eye tooth of gold
though at night she's bought
not a day she's sold
she don't give it away for free

She's a callused hand
in a velvet glove
she's far too cold
to ever fall in love
she's a prisoner by design

Anything she wants
She'll buy or steal
Throw ya' under the bus
If that's what seals the deal
Still I call her a friend of mine

Though in certain circles
they talk about you baby
and how you play your games
with my heart - it's a felony!

Do what you can so ya'did what you could
Because once you're gone
you're sure gone for good
It's the words she used to live by

Now she's modeling it up downtown
come midnight gonna make her rounds
then meet you at the redline
You have a hard time letting her go...but
Think of better things to know-what
the Cards are in her hand

Come mornin'she's goin to make that trek
To cash that check while you're
runnin' like a wreck
It's a simple supply and demand

And like all the working girls
all them poison ladies (who)
brought about the fears in my heart
- It's a felony !!!

F e l o NY
do whatcha gotta do to get by
- it's a felony!

F e l o NY
Nobody really need know why
- it's a felony!

F e l o NY
do whatcha' gotta do to get by
- it's a felony!

F e l o NY
Nobody never need to know why
- it's a felony!

F e l o NY
do whatcha gotta do to get by!

F e l o NY
do whatcha gotta do to get by!

F e l o NY
do whatcha gotta do to get by

F e l o NY
do whatcha gotta do to get by!
