Bob Dylan Lyrics - Sweetheart Like You Lyrics lyrics

rate me

Well the pressures down the boss aint here

He's got north for a while

They say that vanity got the best of him

But he sure left here in style

By the way that's a cute hat and a smile so hard to resist

But whats a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know i once knew a woman who looked like you,

She wanted a whole man, not just a half,

She used to call me sweet daddy when i was just a child

You kind of remind me of her when you laugh.

In order to deal in this game youve got to make the king disappear,

Its done with a flick of the wrist

Whats a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know a woman like you should be at home,

Thats where you belong,

Taking care of somone nice,

Who don't know how to do you wrong.

Just how much abuse will you be able to take?

Well there's no way to tell by the first kiss.

What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

You know you can make a name for yourself,

You know you can hear them tires squeal,

You can be known as the most beautiful woman

Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal.

You know news of you has come down the line

Even before you came through the door

They say in your fathers house, theres many mansions

Each one of them s got a fire proof floor.

Snap out of it people are jealous of you,

They smile to your face, but behind your back they hiss

What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

Got to be an important person to be in here baby,

Got to have done some evil deed,

Got to have your own harem when you come in the door,

Got to play your heart until your lips bleed.

They say that patriotism is the last refuge

To which a scoundrel clings

Steal a little and they throw you in jail,

Steal a lot and they make you a king.

Theres only one more step from here baby,

Its called the land of permanent bliss.

Whats a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
