Lyrics
She walks in town with her mini-skirt
Someone is gonna tell her what she's worth
She throws it in her purse and at the jeweler she looks alright
Her father takes her by surprise again
Brand new earrings tossed into the bin
And at the end of the night, she's just another immoral sin
A ragdoll today
Pay the fee and be on your way
There's a gash running down her thigh
Now that she's finally been untied
She's a fool, yeah some might say
But would she make it any other way
Here's a servant for the suit tonight
Anything goes when she turns out the light, tonight
A heavy weight is on Virginia's mind
Will she get up and leave the past behind
The makeup on her lips and her fingertips smeared away
Don't come back here if you go on your own
Don't think of me when you pick up the phone
'Cuz we got work to do and we could easily replace you
A ragdoll today
Pay the fee and be on your way
There's a gash running down her thigh
Now that she's finally been untied
She's a fool, yeah some might say
But would she make it any other way
Here's a servant for the suit tonight
Anything goes when she turns out the light, tonight
