Big City Girls

(album: The Nature Of The Beast - 1981)

Late night hustle going down in the city
A one-way street on the wrong side of town
Young and foolish man don't you know?
All we could see were

Ladies in the night, walking a straight line
Ladies in the night, working overtime
Ladies in the night, doing the hustle
Ladies in the night, flexing their muscles
Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls

We worked out a deal with some chicks on the corner
Back at the room it was never to be
No-one had money, and the girls got so uptight

Ladies in the night, walking a straight line
Ladies in the night, working overtime
Ladies in the night, doing the hustle
Ladies in the night, flexing their muscles
Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls, so tough

Baby, I know, it's just what I see
Baby, I know, it's not what I need
Big city, big city girls, yeah!

The next thing you know, things got rough, babe
They carved out a warning with a switch-blade-knife
The message was clear, if you wanna play, you gotta pay

For ladies in the night, walking a straight line
Ladies in the night, working overtime
Ladies in the night, doing the hustle
Ladies in the night, flexing their muscles
Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls!
