Partners In Crime
(专辑: Partners In Crime - 1979)
She's under-age and she's underweight And she's one month hooked and she's two months late She comes from Wyoming And he named her Desiree She hit New York like a
farm-fresh egg Hits a
frying pan, she's too proud to beg So she works on the
sidewalk He administrates her pay She calls him Swagger 'cause of his hat He adopted her in three seconds flat By the
bus station doorway Where he found her half-alive He is her family and in return He beats up on her and takes all she can earn And she needs him so badly Losing him she'd never survive Him and her, me and you We do it to each other whatever we do Hand in hand, arm in arm It's always been the
two of us doing us harm It's the
same deal every time We're all of us partners in crime She is a
buyer for Bloomingdale's He's division head of commercial sales They met at the
office Odds we one to one they'd meet Work is the
great aphrodisiac It's that nine-to-five gets 'em in the
sack Afternoons at the
office Evenings at the
health retreat And all day long he just balls her out 'Bout some shipment due on the
air freight route But when they leave the
office Guess who gets the
upper hand? She's into power, he's into pain And beneath her heel, he will long remain And he needs her so badly Loves it when she takes command Him and her, me and you We do it to each other whatever we do Hand in hand, arm in arm It's always been the
two of us doing us harm It's the
same deal every time We're all of us partners in crime If there's a
heaven, if there's a
hell It's made up of those who we love so well And we make hell or heaven As we do when we're alive Two people meet and they fix their deal And they get what they deserve And they want the
way they feel And we need love so badly Losing it we'd never survive Him and her, me and you We do it to each other whatever we do Hand in hand, arm in arm It's always been the
two of us doing us harm It's the
same deal every time We're all of us partners in crime
