Letra de Dime A Dance - Vicki Lawrence

I came to the city because the folks back home
Thought I was pretty enough to make it
They bought me a ticket on a starbound Greyhound
I was on my way
But I landed in a dance hall
Part-time money was all I could make

Saying "Hey mister take a chance
It only cost you a dime a dance
And if you're looking for romance
I'll be nice to you
Hey mister it's so cold
When you don't have someone to hold
I'll do anything I'm told to do
Baby, I want you"


At the time he was living with his wife and kid

She wasn't giving him the love he needed
He poured out his troubles at the Sleep Well Motel as I poured the wine
He said that he was going marry me, if she only let him go
So a worn-out promise and a party gown keeps me in this town

Saying "Hey mister take a chance
It only cost you a dime a dance
And if you're looking for romance
I'll be nice to you
Hey mister it's so cold
When you don't have someone to hold
I'll do anything I'm told to do
Baby, I want you"
