The streets are wet
The lights have yet
To shed their darkened luster on the scene
My skirtīs too short
My tights are run
These new heels are killing me
A second pack of cigarettes
Itīs a slow night, but thereīs time yet
Here comes the john from his other life
He may be driving to his wife
But he slowed down, take a look
Iīve learned to read them just like books
Itīs already half past ten
But theyīll be back again
Head lights in a rainy street
I checked, made sure itīs not the heat
I wink, I smile, I wave my hand
He stops, he seems to understand
A small transaction we must meet
I tell him that my heart will break
If heīs not a generous man
I step into his van
They say the firstīs the hardest trick
But after that itīs just a matter of logic
They have the money I have the time
Being prettyīs my only crime
Ask what future do I see
I say itīs really up to me
I donīt need forgiving
Iīm just making a living
Donīt judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Donīt judge me
One more night
Iīll just have to take my chances
For tomorrow weīll see
A friend of mine, he wound up dead
His dress is stained with color red
The next of kin, no fixed abode
Another victim on this road
The police just carted him away
But someone took his place next day
Heīs home by Thanksgiving
But not with the living
Donīt judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Donīt judge me
One more night
Iīll just have to take my chances
I know itīs just not in my plan
For someone to care who I am
I walk in the streets for money
Itīs the business of love, hey honey, come on!
Donīt leave me lonely, donīt leave me sad
Iīll be the sweetest five minutes youīll ever have
Donīt judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Donīt judge me
One more night
Iīll just have to take my chances
And tomorrow weīll see
