I MET A GIRL IN L.A.
AND SHE SEEMED ALRIGHT TO ME
SHE SAID SHE'D GIVE ME LOVIN'
AND SHE SAID IT WOULD BE FREE
SHE TOLD ME
SHE WOULD CALL ME
OR LEAVE A
MESSAGE AT THE DOOR
AND LEFT ME WOND'RIN'
WHAT I WAS IN FOR
BY THE NEXT TIME
THAT I SAW HER
I HAD CLEAN FORGOT HER NAME
AND WITHOUT
HER FANCY MAKE-UP
SHE JUST DIDN'T LOOK THE SAME
SO, I TOTALLY IGNORED HER
AND SHE SADLY TURNED AWAY
AND THROUGH SYMPATHY
I TOLD HER SHE COULD STAY
OH, POOR LADY, MIDNIGHT BABY
NO-ONE WANTS YOUR LOVE AT ALL
OH, POOR LADY, MIDNIGHT BABY
NOW YOU'RE HEADIN' FOR A FALL
AND YOU REALLY
THINK YOU'RE SOMETHIN'
YOU KNOW ALL THE THINGS TO DO
BUT POOR LADY, JUST A BABY
THERE'S A HUNDRED
MORE LIKE YOU
NOW FOR TWO WEEKS MORE
SHE WAS AT MY DOOR
SHE WOULD STAY
WITH ME FOR DAYS
AS A LOVER
SHE WAS FRIGHT'NIN'
IN SO MANY DIFF'RENT WAYS
BUT WHEN IT CAME TO
CONVERSATION
SHE WAS TOTALLY ABSURD
OH, SHE'D SIT FOR HOURS
AND NEVER SAY A WORD
OH, POOR LADY, MIDNIGHT BABY
NO-ONE WANTS YOUR LOVE AT ALL
OH, POOR LADY, MIDNIGHT BABY
NOW YOU'RE HEADIN' FOR A FALL
AND YOU REALLY
THINK YOU'RE SOMETHIN'
YOU KNOW ALL THE THINGS TO DO
BUT POOR LADY, JUST A BABY
THERE'S A HUNDRED
MORE LIKE YOU
WELL, SHE SPENDS HER DAYS
IN DIFF'RENT WAYS
STILL TRYIN' TO BE HIP
AND AT NIGHT SHE'LL FIND
SHE'LL LOSE HER MIND
AT A CLUB ALONG THE STRIP
WHEN HER MONEY GOES
SHE ALWAYS KNOWS
SHE GOT SOMETHIN'
SHE CAN SELL
IT'S THE ONE THING
THAT SHE REALLY CAN DO WELL
OH, POOR LADY, MIDNIGHT BABY
NO-ONE WANTS YOUR LOVE AT ALL
OH, POOR LADY, MIDNIGHT BABY
NOW YOU'RE HEADIN' FOR A FALL
AND YOU REALLY
THINK YOU'RE SOMETHIN'
BUT OF ALL THE THINGS TO DO
OH, POOR LADY, JUST A BABY
THERE'S A HUNDRED
MORE LIKE YOU
