Everything But The Girl - Sugar Finney lyrics

rate me

Married in black, divorced in white

Though daddy tried to teach her wrong from right

It's hard to resist on a wintry night

When you're out of mind, when you're out of sight

This you shouldn't

And this you should

Oh, but Sugar Finney never could be good

I've grown a little weary of this old town

A conscience sure can bring you down

I'd like to hang around Chicago bars

With murderers and movie stars

And presidents who'd rather be

Alone with would be sinners like me

America is free

Cheap and easy

They say Sugar Finney went off her head

Lay once a month in a blood stained bed

But me, I'm careful where I tread

No handsome boy will ever leave me dead

For beauty is no guarantee

I'll take the looks and the rest you can keep

The rest you can keep

I hope it makes you happy

Suggar Finney

America is free

Cheap and easy

(Children pray for me

Such is the price of infamy

Tell them I was never happy

Goodbye Bobby Kennedy

In the White House still asleep,

Goodnight Jackie Kennedy

America is free

Cheap and easy)
