Lovely Woman
Shattered, shattered love and hope
And sex and dreams
Are still surviving on the street
Look at me, I'm in tatters
I'm a shattered, shattered
Friends are so alarming
My lover's never charming
Life's just a cocktail party on the street
Big Apple, people dressed in plastic bags
Directing traffic some kind of fashion
Shattered, laughter, joy and loneliness
And sex and sex and sex and sex
Look at me, I'm in tatters
I'm a shattered, shattered
All this chitter-chatter
Chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter
'Bout shmatta, shmatta, shmatta
I can't give it away on Seventh Avenue
This town's been wearing tatters
(Shattered, shattered)
Work and work for love and sex
Ain't you hungry for success
Success, success, success
Does it matter?
(Shattered)
Does it matter?
I'm shattered. shattered
Ahhh, look at me, I'm a shattered
I'm a shattered look at me
I'm a shattered, yeah
Pride and joy and greed and sex
That's what makes our town the best
Pride and joy and dirty dreams
And still surviving on the street
And look at me, I'm in tatters, yeah
I've been battered, what does it matter
Does it matter, uh-huh
Does it matter, uh-huh
I'm a shattered
Don't you know the crime rate
Is going up, up, up, up, up?
To live in this town
You must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough
You got rats on the west side
Bed bugs uptown
What a mess this town's in tatters
I've been shattered
My brain's been battereds
Splattered all over Manhattan
Uh-huh, this town's full of money grabbers
Go ahead, bite the big apple
Don't mind the maggots, huh
Shadoobie, my brain's been battered
My friends they come around they flatter
Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter
Pile it up, pile it high on the platter
And sex and dreams
Are still surviving on the street
Look at me, I'm in tatters
I'm a shattered, shattered
Friends are so alarming
My lover's never charming
Life's just a cocktail party on the street
Big Apple, people dressed in plastic bags
Directing traffic some kind of fashion
Shattered, laughter, joy and loneliness
And sex and sex and sex and sex
Look at me, I'm in tatters
I'm a shattered, shattered
All this chitter-chatter
Chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter
'Bout shmatta, shmatta, shmatta
I can't give it away on Seventh Avenue
This town's been wearing tatters
(Shattered, shattered)
Work and work for love and sex
Ain't you hungry for success
Success, success, success
Does it matter?
(Shattered)
Does it matter?
I'm shattered. shattered
Ahhh, look at me, I'm a shattered
I'm a shattered look at me
I'm a shattered, yeah
Pride and joy and greed and sex
That's what makes our town the best
Pride and joy and dirty dreams
And still surviving on the street
And look at me, I'm in tatters, yeah
I've been battered, what does it matter
Does it matter, uh-huh
Does it matter, uh-huh
I'm a shattered
Don't you know the crime rate

Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter
Pile it up, pile it high on the platter
