Cherry
Sweet little Cherry got her hands in her pockets
and she's waiting for a downtown train
High heel boots with the straps hung low
And her head hanging down in shame
The wolves all dress up just like sheep
and the go and hit the town
Cherry never sees 'em
But they're hanging all around
Sweet little Cherry got a switchblade Jimmy
Come and take her down to 4th and Main
Her mind in a haze of the better days
Before her body was an ad campaign
But now the filthy crooks and pocketbooks
Are all that Cherry sees
The dashboard dogs and backseat hogs and
Down onto her knees
I am tempted, I am weak
I'm too weak to try to speak
I am tempted, I'm ashamed
Yeah, I'm ashamed and I'm to blame
You'll see
Yeah I'm tempted by the cherry tree
You'll see
Yeah I'm tempted by the cherry tree
Sweet little Cherry took the last bus home
In the middle of the pouring rain
She saw the bad boys sleeping and the good girls weeping
Through the fog on the window panes
And Cherry wants to make it right
But she never has a prayer
Cuz as long as there are bad boys
They'll be penny millionaires
and she's waiting for a downtown train
High heel boots with the straps hung low
And her head hanging down in shame
The wolves all dress up just like sheep
and the go and hit the town
Cherry never sees 'em
But they're hanging all around
Sweet little Cherry got a switchblade Jimmy
Come and take her down to 4th and Main
Her mind in a haze of the better days
Before her body was an ad campaign
But now the filthy crooks and pocketbooks
Are all that Cherry sees
The dashboard dogs and backseat hogs and
Down onto her knees
I am tempted, I am weak
I'm too weak to try to speak
I am tempted, I'm ashamed
Yeah, I'm ashamed and I'm to blame
You'll see
Yeah I'm tempted by the cherry tree
You'll see
Yeah I'm tempted by the cherry tree
Sweet little Cherry took the last bus home
In the middle of the pouring rain
She saw the bad boys sleeping and the good girls weeping
Through the fog on the window panes
And Cherry wants to make it right
But she never has a prayer
Cuz as long as there are bad boys
They'll be penny millionaires
