Elton John – Sweet Painted Lady Lyrics  Share

From Elton John's album: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

I^,m back on dry land once again
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
We^,re all hunting honey with money to burn
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we^,ve learned

If the boys all behave themselves here
Well there^,s pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won^,t need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright

So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
[ Sweet Painted Lady lyrics from

There^,s a place in the world for a woman like you

Oh sweet painted lady
Seems it^,s always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that^,s the name of the game

Forget us we^,ll have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
And we^,ll leave the smell of the sea in your beds
Where love^,s just a job and nothing is said
