Ladies Pay
Lou Reed
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 payLou Reed
