Poor Lady (Midnight Baby)

Normann / Spencer

I met a girl in L.A. and she seemed alright to me,
She said she`d give me loving and she said it would be free,
She told me she would call me or leave a message at the door,
And left me wondering what I was in for.

By the next time that I saw her I had clean forgot her name,
And without her fancy make-up she just didn`t look the same,
So I totally ignored her and she sadly turned away,
And through sympathy I told her she could stay.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
No one wants your love at all,
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
Now you`re heading for a fall,
And you really think you`re something,
You know all the things to do,
But poor lady, just a baby,
There`s a hundred more like you.

Now for two weeks more she was at my door,
She would stay with me for days,
As a lover she was frightening in so many different ways,
But when it came to conversation she was totally absurd,
Oh she`d sit for hours and never say a word.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
No one wants your love at all,
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
Now you`re heading for a fall,
And you really think you`re something,
You know all the things to do,
But poor lady, just a baby,
There`s a hundred more like you.

She spends her days in different ways still trying to be hip,
And at night she`ll find she`ll lose her mind at a club along the strip,
When her money goes she always knows she got something she can sell,
It`s the one thing that she really can do well.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
No one wants your love at all,
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
Now you`re heading for a fall,
And you really think you`re something,
You know all the things to do,
But poor lady, just a baby,
There`s a hundred more like you.
