Time would pass, and I would
learn
No investment, no return---
Which devil would I sell
my poor soul to?
Chose an influential pig,
Chewed cigars and wore a
wig,
I would make it big
And have control, too.
But it's a different game
now
Than the game begun---
He never calls me by my
name now,
Still I run.
It seems I've found the
hero
Who would come my way;
My self-respect is zero,
Yet I stay.
Stand before him in the nude,
Once it made him wild and
lewd,
But now he only lies there
and mocks me;
Tells me I'm a two-bit whore,
Asks me what I'm waiting
for,
I go back for more
And that's what shocks me.
Hopes and dreams all fade
away,
Roles comes up that I could
play,
But he shouts at me to fuck
off the nagging;
So I go from year to year,
Champagne turns to tepid
beer,
Wrinkles soon appear
And breasts start sagging.
Ah, what a different game
now
Than the game begun!
He never calls me by my
name now,
Still I run.
Oh, God, is this the hero
Who would come my way?
My self-respect is zero,
Yet I stay.
