Infidels session 7, Power Station NYC - 18.apr.1983, album version Well the pressure's down, the boss ain't here He gone north for a while They say that vanity got the best of him But he sure left here in style By the way that's a cute hat And that smile's so hard to resist But what's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You know i once knew a woman who looked like you She wanted a whole man not just a half She used to call me sweet daddy when i was only a child You kind of remind me of her when you laugh In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear It's done with a flick of the wrist What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You know a woman like you should be at home That's where you belong Takin' care of somebody nice Who don't know how to do you wrong Just how much abuse will you be able to take Well there's no way to tell by that first kiss What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You know you can make a name for yourself You can hear them tires squeal You can be known as the most beautiful woman Who ever crawl across cut glass to make a deal. You know news of you have come down the line Even before you came to the door They say in your father's house there's many mansions Each one of them got a fireproof floor Snap out of it, baby, people are jealous of you They smile to your face but behind your back they hiss What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? Go to be an important person to be in here, baby Got to have done some evil deed Got to have your own harem when you come in the door Got to play your harp until your lips bleed. They say that patriotism is the last refuge To which a scroundrel clings Steal a little and they throw you in jail Steal a lot and they make you king There's only one step down from here, babe It's called the land of permanent bliss What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? |

Infidels session 7, Power Station NYC - 18.apr.1983, alt version #1 Well, the pressure's down, the boss ain't here He gone up north for a while The very last thing he said was, "See you later" But he did go out in style By the way, that's a cute pair of boots And that smile's so hard to resist But what, what's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You know conmen don't meet strangers To them they are none Within a quarter of an hour They're on good terms with anyone In order to deal, got to make the queen disappear It's done with the flick of the wrist What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You know a woman like you should be at home That's where you belong Taking care of somebody nice Who don't know how to do you wrong You look to me like a royalty And there's a thought I can't dismiss What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You could make a name for yourself You could hear them tires squeal You could be known as the most beautiful woman Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal. They say that oppression is a cruel tutor And injustice is a nurse Five bits can eat your heart out If you only said it first It don't matter what the price is But how much of it just don't exist What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You got to be an important person to be in here, honey Got to have done some evil deed Got to have your own harem when you come in the door Be able to play your harp until your lips bleed. They say that patriotism is the last refuge To which a scoundrel clings Steal a little and they throw you in jail Steal a lot and they make you a king There's only one step down from here, baby It's called the land of permanent bliss What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? |

Infidels session 7, Power Station NYC - 18.apr.1983, alt version #2 Well the pressure's down, the boss ain't here He gone up north to that lighthouse beyond the bend They say vanity got the best of him He did not trust no one in the end By the way that's a cute hat And that smile's so hard to resist But what's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You know i once knew a woman who looked like you She wanted a whole man not just a half She used to call me sweet daddy when i was only a child You kind of remind me of her when you laugh In order to deal in this game, got to make a queen disappear It's done with a flick of the wrist What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You know a woman like you should be at home That's where you belong Takin' care of somebody nice Who don't know how to do you wrong Just how much abuse will you be able to take Well you'll never tell by that first kiss What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You know you can make a name for yourself You can hear them tires squeal You can be known as the most beautiful woman Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal. They say that oppression is a cruel tutor And injustice is a nurse You can put your hand in the hand of a man with a nose that can't smell But you can put your confidence in him an' that's worse Snap out of it, baby, people are jealous of you They smile in your face but behind your back they hiss What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? Got to be an important person to be in here, honey Got to have done some evil deed Got to have your own harem when you come in the door Got to play your harp until your lips bleed. They say that patriotism is the last refuge To which a scroundrel clings Steal a little and they throw you in jail Steal a lot and they make you king There's only one step down from here, baby It's called the land of permanent bliss What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? |
