We're in the heart of the city
Where the alligator roam
I'm a little lost lamb
Ain't got no place to go
I ain't got one penny
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
I ain't never never going back
I'm looking for a lover in the heart of the city
We met in a bar
Out on Chesapeake Bay
With her white patent boots
And her blouse red lame
A table top dancer
She would smile on cue
Oh, those lips of an angel
Angel in blue
Eight miles high, and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street, that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on baby, let's start today
Come on baby, let's play
The game of love, love, love, love
La la la la la love
I'm your vehicle woman
By now I'm sure you know
That I love ya, love ya
I need ya, need ya
I want you
Got to have you child
Great God in Heaven
You know I love you
You better hide your daughter
From the man with the girlproof heart
Walking on the water
He thinks he's oh so smart
You just might get an answer
But you never get the truth
From the man with the girlproof heart
I'll tell you something baby
There will come a day
When I can open up my heart and love again
Until then, I'll get by
Somehow, I'll get by
I know, I'll get by
