Rock And Roll Heart

All the sailors they're all home from leave
And everybody's waiting for them to try to deceive
The storekeepers have drawn their lace curtains bare
And all the women and the wee young girls all waiting there

Oh, but how the ladies pay
Oh, if they only knew how the ladies pay
Yeah now, how the ladies pay
Oh, when the men they've gone away

Nobody is standing on upon the door
And nobody is feeding any of the poor
The poor sick soldier lies in bed beside his girl
Thinking of another place on the other side of the world
Ah

How the ladies pay
Oh-oh, oh, how the ladies pay
When the men they've gone away
Oh, i wish i knew how the ladies pay

Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day and night
Night and day
Day and night
Day and night, night and day, ladies pay now

Night and day, day and night
How the ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day and night now
Night and day and now
How the pay now
Oh, how the pay now

Ladies pay, ladies pay
Ah, ladies pay the way now
Ladies pay, ah, ladies pay
Ah, ladies pay
Night and day, night and day, night and day
Oh, how the ladies pay
Oh, night and day, night and day, night and day
Oh, how the ladies pay

You're caught in a vicious circle
Surrounded by your so called friends
You're caught in a vicious circle
And it looks like it will never end

'cause some people think that they like problems
And some people think that they don't
And for everybody who says yes
There's somebody who's staring, saying don't

You're caught in a vicious circle
Surrounded by your so called friends
You're caught in a vicious circle
And it looks like it will just never end

'cause some people think that it's nerves
And some people think that it's not
And some people think that it's things that you do
And others think that you were cold when you were hot
They think that, that is what it was about

You're caught in a vicious circle
You're caught in a vicious circle
You're caught in a vicious circle
You're caught in a vicious circle
Surrounded by all of your friends

Talk-talk, yak-yak
Watch you pull that old one track
Get it up and get it back
Making it upon your back

No space, no rent
The money's gone, it's all been spent now

And if it turns you then around

Oh yeah, it's just a temporary thing

You've read too many books, you've seen too many plays
And it's things like this, that turn you away
Hey, now, now, look, huh, look, hey look, hey look
You better think about it twice
I know that your good breeding makes it seem not so nice

It's just a temporary thing
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, it's just a temporary thing

Where's the number, where's the dime and where's the phone
I feel like a stranger, i guess you wanna go back home
Your mother, your father, your brother
I guess they wouldn't agree with me
But i don't give two shits, they're no better than me

Ah-ha, it's just a temporary thing
Oh yeah, been there before just a temporary thing
It's just a temporary thing
Ah bitch, get off my kids, temporary thing
Get out, it's just a temporary thing
Yeah now, home (it's just a temporary thing)
Temporary thing, huh, ah-ha (it's just a temporary thing)
