Sweet Painted Lady Lyrics - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John

I'm back on dry land once again 

Opportunity awaits me like a rat in a drain, 

We're all hunting honey with money to burn 

Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned. 

If the boys all behave themselves here 

Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear, 

You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight 

The prices I charge here will see you alright. 

So she lays down beside me again 

My sweet painted lady, the one with no name, 

Many have used her and many still do 

There's a place in the world for a woman like you. 

Oh! Sweet painted lady 

Seems it's always been the same, 

Getting paid for being laid 

Guess that's the name of the game.

Oh! Sweet painted lady 

Seems it's always been the same, 

Getting paid for being laid 

Guess that's the name of the game. 

Forget us we'll have gone very soon 

Just forget we ever slept in your rooms, 

And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds 

Where love's just a job and nothing is said. 

So she lays down beside me again 

My sweet painted lady, the one with no name, 

Many have used her and many still do 

There's a place in the world for a woman like you. 

Oh! Sweet painted lady 

Seems it's always been the same, 

Getting paid for being laid 

Guess that's the name of the game. 

Oh! Sweet painted lady 

Seems it's always been the same, 

Getting paid for being laid 

Guess that's the name of the game. Oh!
