Lyrics
her cell phone in her handbag rings, between Fendi's assesoires, she's a full-time temporary, per temporary callin' card. yeah, she'll job before the camera, when her back's against the wall, an' reveals her perfect centrefold body yeah, an' let the final pieces fall. she goes on, an' on, an' on she goes, all temporary. the price she pays for independent means, all temporary. she' been a head-hunter's secretary, been a bunny in a playboy bar, she reserves the right of sayin' no, in her hardtop she'll go far, she owns her own address, oh man, she always gets her male, she's the feline of the species, she's for hire - but not for sale, she's for hire - but not for sale, she's for hire - but not for sale.... she goes on, an' on, an' on she goes, all temporary, the price she pays for independent means, all temporary, an' on an' on to get off she goes an dials a number, a finger-snap no strings attached an' free - all temporary
