| Bob Dylan "What's A Sweetheart Like You Doing In A Dump Like This" |
| Words & Music By Bob Dylan 1983 |
| Well the pressures down.... the boss ain't here... he gone 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... & that smile's so hard to resist. But... what's 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 only a child. You kind of remind of her... when you laugh. In order to deal in this game... got to make the queen disappear. It's done with the flick of a wrist. What's a sweet heart like you... doing... in a dump like this. You know a woman like you... should be at home. That's where you belong. Taking care of somebody nice... who don't how to do you wrong. Just how much abuse... will you be able to take. Well there's no way to tell by that first kiss. What's a sweetheart like you... doing... in a dump like this. You know... you can make a name for yourself. You can hear them tires squeal. You can be known... as the most... beautiful woman. Who ever crawled across cut glass... to make deal. You know news of you... has come down the line... even before ya came in the door. They say... in your fathers house... there's many mansions. Each one of them... got a fireproof floor. Snap out of it baby.... people are jealouse 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 honey... got to have done some evil deed. Got to have your own hell...when you come in the door. Got to play your harp until your lips... bleed. They say that patriotism is the last refuge... to which a scoundrel clings. Steal a little & they through you in jail. Steal alot & they make you king. There's only one step down from here baby. It's called the land of promenate bliss. What's a sweetheart like you... doing in a dump like this. |
