Sweetheart Like You Lyrics - Rod Stewart

Well the pressure's down the boss ain't here 

He's gone off for awhile 

They say that vanity got the best of him 

But he sure left here after sundown 

By the way that's a cute hat that you're wearing 

And that smile so hard to resisit 

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 a child 

You kinda remind me of her when you laugh 

To deal in this game you must make the Queen disappear 

It's done with a flick of the wrist 

What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

You know a woman like you should be at home 

That's where you belong 

Watching out for someone who loves you true 

Who would never never do you wrong 

Just how much abuse you can take 

Well there's no way to tell by that first lonely 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 a deal 

You know, news of you has come down the line 

Even before you came in the door 

They say in your father's house there's many mansions 

Each one of them got a fireproof floor 

Snap out of it baby people are jealous of you 

They smile in 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 harem 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 and they throw you in jail 

Steal a lot and they make you King 

There's only one step down from here, baby 

It's called the land of permanent bliss 

What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
